What is SVF?

I already enjoy the benefits of antialiasing.  The display quality is far
superior to that of Netscape or MSIE, or any other (non RISC OS) browser
that I have seen.  I can only assume that this is due to users not being
aware that the quality of displayed text can be so much higher.

I can only see two problems with it though: firstly, pages with
background images are almost unreadble unless the overriding colour of
the background is greyish-white or the author has specified a
BGCOLOR[1]; secondly that if & when anti-aliasing is introduced into
HTML standards, it'll probably be incompatible with my system :-(

Such are the problems of being on a platform not supported by Adobe,
Microsoft or Netscape, I suppose.

[1] Whilst it is possible to guess the colour, it isn't really that
satisfactory.
