I had thought text was now working, but find today that it isn't.

Reproducible: Always

1.load attachment

Actual Results:  
no text displayed

Expected Results:

this could be a more general problem, as the URL shows nothing at all.

however it could be local to my machine which is win'98 and getting very old now.

http://www.kevlindev.com/tutorials/basics/text/svg/index.htm don't work for me.

it seems having <text> in the SVG file may prevent display of any graphic

try both attachments, they are identicle except for the line:
    <text x="235" y="25" font-size="18">elliptical arcs (absolute coords)</text>
which is only present in the first.

problem remains for Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2 + 1.5.0.3 + 1.5.0.4 rc3

I think this bug is no longer "UNCONFIRMED" ?!

See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SVG_in_Firefox_1.5#Text_on_Win98

I thought we decided it was too much work to try and fix this, and that we were dropping win9x support anyway. IMHO resources would be better spent on other things, and this should just be marked wontfix, especially since the next versions of Mozilla products will officially drop win9x support.

believe as '98 support was dropped this will not be fixed
