Jeff, why do you call it a sub-pixel font, the font-size for presentation should be around 7.5px, whatever is available in this range for the viewer ;o) I think, I provided related accuracy tests with and without animation for SVG tiny 1.2 (currently they are not in the SVG 1.1 SE test suite I think, but most of my test apply for SVG 1.1 as well), typically it is more indicated to ensure, that the allowed number range is supported, respectively that something like additive animations are accurate within the allowed number range. Typically this is more done with (basic) shapes, not necessarily with text. However with these and related tests in my own test suite it becomes obvious, that several viewers have accuracy problem or do not manage even the much more restricted number range of SVG tiny. Opera displays circles in some situations as irregular polygons - these are known bugs (at least there is a bug report in the BTS related to this issue for a long time) therefore no surprise, that there happens even more nonsense with 'unversioned' SVG documents including notation with unit identifiers an a much larger number range. It is known as well, that typically browsers have problems with unit identifiers (therefore nowadays the CSS-WG tries to corrupt the meaning of unit identifiers completely to suppress discussion about such common bugs) - however px on screens should be typically no problem ;o) Olaf
