And the following comments. However, this is *not* an SVG specific problem as the link for this bug proves. Note also that this testcase works: http://keryx.se/resources/firefox-experiments/at-font-in-svg-tuffy.svg

Use http://keryx.se/resources/firefox-experiments/ to download the fonts to use locally (untested by me).

This works for me on Linux and OS X (both Minefield and Shiretoko builds): the text is displayed with the correct font.

This is what I see on Windows Vista (it looks the same with all browsers).

Confirming.  Also confirming as being Windows only.  I think we already have a bug on windows only TTF issues.

Comment 4

This could be a dupe of bug 496573.

The full name of the font is 'Let's Trace basic', the family name is 'LetsTrace' (according to Fontbook.app on my Mac; not sure if Windows sees the same naming info).

By the way I verified that your original testcase:

http://devfiles.myopera.com/articles/593/webfonts_in_svg.svg

Displays correctly with the Linux version of Firefox.

Confirmed that the fix for 496573 fixes this problem.  Yikes, ugly font...
