Steve, I don't know, but am interested in the answer myself! I'm responding to let you know that messages regarding SVG support for allowing graphics to adapt to sizes of particular strings do show up now and then (some from me). This topic appears not to be one that the powers-that-be found important for some reason. Scripting is said to have access to sizes of things, and that scripts are thus necessary to properly adapt graphics to text. -Allen -----Original Message----- From: Steve Schafer [mailto:steve@fenestra.com] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 10:12 AM To: www-svg@w3.org Subject: X-height fallback Not all fonts specify an x-height, and even when they do, it's not always possible to determine what it is (Windows, for example, doesn't provide an API for obtaining a font's x-height). Does SVG define any kind of fallback mechanism for approximating a font's x-height (for dimensions specified in "ex" units)? I couldn't find anything in the spec.
