Specifying the font size as an atribute in SVG works:

<text x="5" y="50" font-size="50">He's dead, Jim!</text>

whereas specifying the font size as a style attribute seems to have no effect at all:

<text x="5" y="50" style="font-size: 50">He's dead, Jim!</text>

Oddly, other font attributes (e.g. font-family) do work when given in a style attribute.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the SVG.
2. Compare text sizes.

If you check the javascript console you'll see "Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'font-size'.  Declaration dropped.". In CSS a font size must be specified with units, i.e. font-size: 50px;

I was not aware that SVG errors appeared in the javascript console. Thanks!
