Re: Full 1.1 Test Suite Status Updated

The mission of the WOFF working group  "is to develop specifications that 
allow the interoperable deployment of downloadable fonts on the Web."

That, it seems to me, does not address at all, fonts that are definable 
client-side. In order to make a font-design engine that runs client side, 
one pretty much needs SVG fonts it seems to me. WOFF should, thus, be in 
addition to rather than instead of SVG fonts by the very limitations imposed 
by the word "downloadable" in its charter.

Yes?

WOFF is not requirement for SVG 1.1, while SVGFonts is. Or it is at least 
still a part of SVG1.1. I wouldn't replace SVG Fonts with WOFF, but maybe we 
can add them as well. So we have different font types as fallback and have a 
better base of comparison between SVG viewers.

Cheers,
Dirk
