Hi Jerry, It seems like your example uses some Adobe proprietary font inclusion, not a readable SVG font. Newer editions of Adobe Illustrator (CS2 and CS3) and CorelDraw can export SVG fonts. Alternatively, Batik comes with a tool to convert true type fonts to SVG fonts. The free fontforge application (works fine on various unixes/mac/linux, but harder to install on windows) can convert a large range of font formats, including svg fonts.
If you send me the gentium fonts (the download seems to be broken currently) I can convert the font for you and adopt your example. Or you could try any of the other methods yourself (Batik/fontforge). Hope this information helps, Andreas --- In [email protected], Jerrold Maddox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to format text > with an embedded font in SVG so that I can get something like this: > http://www.personal.psu.edu/jxm22/7thltr.html > > (To see it as I intend, you need to have the free font Gentium installed.) > > All I have been able to do is this (which only appears in Opera) and > the font embedding doesn't work and I can't figure out how to format > the text - paragraph breaks, heading and applying CSS.
