Jim,
I can't speak for Adobe, but we [Jasc] haven't implemented support for
'shape-rendering' at this time. That doesn't mean we're "blithely ignoring"
it or not paying attention to the spec, just that we haven't implemented it
yet.
Regards,
ElShaddai Edwards

Subject: Turning Off Antialiasing
I want fonts rendered with no antialiasing. I still know very little about
SVG, but I gather that the way this is supposed to be done is by
incorporating shape-rendering:crispEdges into a style element. I'm not
getting this to work. Here is some SVG that I have tried:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20001102//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-SVG-20001102/DTD/svg-20001102.dtd">
<svg width="500" height="500">
<text x="186" y="173" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14;stroke-
width:1;stroke-opacity:0;stroke:rgb(0,0,0);
fill-opacity:1;fill:rgb(0,0,0);opacity:1;shape-rendering:crispEdges">well,
this is a scratch default</text>
</svg>
<!-- Generated by Jasc WebDraw PR4(tm) on 07/07/01 15:40:36 -->
When I view this using the Adobe SVG plugin, the font is antialiased, which
is clearly visible when I do a screen capture and blow the bitmap up. Jasc
WebDraw also renders it antialiased in its Canvas pane.
Am I doing something wrong?
*Or* [hideous thought!] are viewer implementers just blithely ignoring
shape-rendering:crispEdges? I hope not. The folks who made the SVG
standard obviously went to a huge amount of work. It would be a shame if
viewer implementers just didn't pay attention to what the standard says ...
