I want to put in a plug for upping the SVG support priority (if user demand has any effect on this, at least).
I want to put styled text in SVG so I can display the content in a GUI application more readily (the text should be scalable, and the background should be able to be transparent: especially if the SVG file is an image of text only). Anyway, this would make it easy to do certain types of text rendering in games: just style it, convert it to a transparent SVG and layer it over the game's images. If you have ideas on how to do this now, before that feature becomes available, feel free to let me know. I'm thinking of using another program to convert to SVG, but that would likely be slower than what the future of this will offer—or will it? As long as it takes less than a half-second per rendering (with each rendering being about a paragraph of text), it should be fine. Is this a reasonable speed requirement for what PyX or conversion methods (eps to svg or pdf to svg) would be able to offer? If not, I'll have to try something else. I guess scalability isn't a huge issue since the image can be redrawn at a different size without having to scale the SVG file itself, although I'd prefer to keep scalability intact—so, if you know something that converts to PNG or some other image format that supports transparency (not GIF, though), feel free to let me know.
