We need to engage the authoring tool community more, and this is a good chance to do so. What did they mean by that? Why did they do it that way? Probably because a use case they had didn't have a clear solution. Let's make it easier for people to ask us how to proceed when in doubt (maybe we can use the SVG IG for that?), and let's continue to make it harder for people to misunderstand the specs. Maybe the Omni Group could join the SVG IG? Maybe they could join W3C? > Here are a few of my guesses: > - Overriding metrics of a locally installed font?

Certainly, let's specify this, after getting feedback on why OmniGraffle does it that way. Regards- -Doug Schepers W3C Team Contact, SVG, CDF, and WebAPI
