[cross-posting to the general SVG list]

BTW, the wiki page about this issue [1] has this statement on it:

"SVG Tiny fonts are easy to support, and offer a number of features not found in e.g Truetype fonts."

Can someone explain what the features are that are not offered in TrueType fonts?

Regards,
