You allow the SVG and TT glyphs IDs to overlap, but don't require it, so text shaping can choose a glyph that has only a TT version (or only an SVG version) if you want to. This is simple and flexible. I can't see a reason to do it any other way. Rob -- "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us." [1 John 1:8-10]
