In my experience what's defined in SVG Tiny 1.2 for SVG Fonts is quite  
interoperable. And of course there are more implementations that support  
SVG Fonts, e.g Inkscape, Illustrator and various other tools.

Basically I don't think there's ground for the statement about "multiple  
incompatible subsets".
