It has nothing to do with fonts. The path is determined by the foundries, for example Q in Times New Roman, contained in an SVG font, will read like this: <glyph glyph-name="Q" unicode="Q" d="M420 199.5q127 -154.5 312 -154.5q181 0 309.5 150.5t128.5 481.5q0 335 -130 484t-308 149q-184 0 -311.5 -154.5t-127.5 -478.5q0 -323 127 -477.5zM267 1203q189 181 465 181q272 0 462 -179q209 -197 209 -528q0 -262 -133 -443q-144 -195 -408 -246 q124 -179 300 -254q99 -42 267 -62v-37h-84q-166 0 -294.5 27t-233.5 82q-105 54 -194.5 150t-99.5 101l-26 12q-170 79 -263 180q-173 187 -173 490q0 328 206 526z" /> This is essentially just a path, as below. Whether it is specified as a path or a glyph, you can apply a fill attribute and a stroke attribute. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";> <defs> <radialGradient id="grad1" cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50%" fx="50%" fy="50%"> <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:rgb(255,255,255); stop-opacity:0" /> <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,255);stop-opacity:1" /> </radialGradient> </defs> <g transform = "translate(200 300) scale(.1 -.1)"> <path id="CAPITAL_Q" fill="url(#grad1)" d= "M420 199.5 q127 -154.5 312 -154.5 q181 0 309.5 150.5 t128.5 481.5 q0 335 -130 484 t-308 149 q-184 0 -311.5 -154.5 t-127.5 -478.5 q0 -323 127 -477.5 zM267 1203 q189 181 465 181 q272 0 462 -179 q209 -197 209 -528 q0 -262 -133 -443 q-144 -195 -408 -246 q124 -179 300 -254 q99 -42 267 -62v-37h-84 q-166 0 -294.5 27 t-233.5 82 q-105 54 -194.5 150 t-99.5 101l-26 12 q-170 79 -263 180 q-173 187 -173 490 q0 328 206 526 z" /> </g> ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [email protected] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
