Just to summarise the response to your specific comment, as the discussions moved off in interesting directions but were not specific to your original comment: The existing line-increment property affects the line spacing for text in an area, as Jon mentioned. dx, dy and rotate are not available on 'text' or 'tspan' either, in SVG Tiny 1.2, so the spec is consistent. For richer control, see text in an area in SVG 1.2 Full once that specification is updated. Please let us know if that does not adress your specific comments. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
