Hi, Richard- The proper way to do this is to specify the mm units in the root, like so:
<svg version='1.1' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink' width='200mm' height='400mm'> This means that all values that do not have unit markers themselves will use millimeters. This is the only way of specifying units for the <path> element, in fact. As for fonts, I'm not sure why you should have a problem there. Have you tried a different font? Of course, using mm units on screens with different resolution will rarely have the intended effect, but it may be appropriate for printing.
