[xep-support] Re: Problems with rendering some characters inside SVG

[Kevin Brown]

Not supported. 
See http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#SVG
Neither <font> or <glyph> are listed as a structural element so it is not supported, only from referencing and embedding the font from "xep.xml" 

And that is why mine rendered as I have Arial available.

It's definitively font issue.

File is referencing Arial font. If I add it into xep.xml and point to local copy of Arial then characters are shown. However when Arial is not known to XEP then it should pick up embedded glyph definitions from the file and it's apparently not doing it:

  <font id="FontID0" font-variant="normal" style="fill-rule:nonzero"
font-style="normal" font-weight="400">
	<font-face
		font-family="Arial">
	</font-face>
   <missing-glyph><path d="M0 0z"/></missing-glyph>
   <glyph unicode="ů" horiz-adv-x="556"><path d="M405.818 0l0
76.1817c-40.5003,-58.6776 -95.

...

  <style type="text/css">
    @font-face { font-family:"Arial";src:url("#FontID0") format(svg)}
     ...
    .fnt0 {font-weight:normal;font-size:2.8222;font-family:'Arial'}
  </style>

...

  <text x="120.647" y="122.6"  class="fnt0">vůči</text>


Are SVG fonts supported in SVG images by XEP?
