I've recently experimented with using entity definitions to reuse path data multiple times in an SVG font, so I can tell that it works in ASV 3, Opera 9.6, and Batik 1.7 . Firefox 3.0.5 doesn't support SVG fonts anyway, but it also fails to parse the document, complaining about an undefined entity. The file can be found at <http://frankbruder.fr.ohost.de/fonts/spaceagedigital.svg> A rendered sample image of what the font is supposed to look like is shown at <http://frankbruder.fr.ohost.de/fonts_en.html#spaceagedigital>, but apart from shortcomings in SVG Fonts support it can be assumed that a user agent supports entity definitions in an internal subset DTD if and only if it doesn't report an error and displays at least the dark background rectangle. > > Hope this helps, > Helder Magalhães > > [1] http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/08/xmlqna1.html#INTENT > [2] http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/08/xmlqna0.html?page=2 > ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
