Yup, this is one of the new and cool things in the SVG 1.1 Second Edition test suite I'm holding for as a nice improvement for cross-platform rendering in the scope of Regard [1] (Apache Batik's regression test suite). The differences between text rendering among platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.), which are a pain during automated rendering comparison, should then fade away (completely?). :-) > However, the SVGFreeSansASCII-version on the test suite uses kerning > (<hkern>) and I see some differences on WebKit with some SVG-Tests > compared to Opera. Oh-oh, I'd recommend removing all the extraneous features in that font (the <hkern> and others which may be there, note that I didn't dig down for more), as AFAIK it's purpose is to cause rendering to match as closely as possible, rather than be testing specific font support features. ;-) > Greetings, > Dirk Cheers, Helder [2] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/dev/test.html#regard
