Hi Glenn, A standard font format is not at all convenient for our purposes, SVG is.The parser implementation we use is our own (and it's really simple). I see no sign that SVG is about to be abandoned as a standard! It has a future https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/ It is perfect for defining symbols which is what we are using it for in this case. We are not 'clinging tightly to deprecated features' but we certainly do not want to take on a pile of work for no good reason best regards James Sutton Dolphin Computing www.dolphin-com.co.uk <http://www.dolphin-com.co.uk/> www.seescore.co.uk <http://www.seescore.co.uk/> www.playscore.co <http://www.playscore.co/> > On 15 Apr 2020, at 19:38, Glenn Linderman <v+smufl@g.nevcal.com> wrote: > > On 4/15/2020 3:23 AM, James Sutton wrote: >> Hi Daniel, >> I see browsers do not support SVG fonts any longer, but what about non-browsers? > > The deprecation was done by the SVG standards committee.
