> Hi. Newbie here. Hi Steve, > I checked the docs, but couldn't find mention of it. When embedding font objects into an svg document, do they all have to be defined at the top of the file before any actual graphical drawing type objects? Or can they be interspersed throughout the document, such as being added right before a text object that uses a particular font for the first time? I don't think the specification mentions that they all need to be defined at the top of the file, although it's a general good practice to declare objects to be referenced later in a "defs" section, typically placed near start of the document, something the specification font examples [1] follow. Note that the specification [1] states that "An SVG font can be either embedded within the same document that uses the font or saved as part of an external resource." although, in my experience, several implementations that support SVG fonts don't support externally referenced ones (most notably WebKit, though AFAIK this is being changed as we speak). :-) > Thanks! > > Steve For future questions that mostly involve questions and/or support, the Yahoo! SVG Developers group is probably a better place to ask: "This mailing list is for technical discussion on Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and its specifications." [3]. ;-) Hope this helps, Helder [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/fonts.html [2] http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers/ [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/
