WOFF fonts combined with a text stroke and Image headers containing decorative text may beĬandidates for using SVG.
It can be copied and pasted, searched,Īnd easily updated. To the added benefit of scalability, the text in charts and diagrams Charts and diagrams fall under this category. Images containing text are better served as SVG than a rasterĪlternative. This is the closest I got to the subject, but it talks about text in SVG graphics, not SVG fonts. WOFF, TTF and others render differently depending on browser and OS, but your font will always be displayed.Ībout the accessibility, mentioned as a possible issue by DA01, I can't find any specifications regarding browsers either. So, in short: SVG fonts render nicely, but are not supported by IE or Firefox. There is a proposal by the SVG glyphs for OpenType Community Group to add a subset of SVG to OpenType.
Before, SVG Fonts were the only way to use webfonts on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), and that's why FontSquirrel includes them in their font-face package, but iOS 4.2 added support for TTF fonts. Opera and WebKit added support for SVG, but Mozilla and Microsoft decided not to, and that limits their usefulness. You can use SVG fonts, but you have to be aware of the browser compatibility limitations. That's why I always try to test drive the fonts live (some foundries allow this) for different browsers and OS. This is not the case for all of them, but it is for most. Differences in the way the fonts are rendered are, unfortunately, impossible to avoid.
