SVG not depending on system fonts

[Gorzsás Tamás <Go...@evosoft.hu>]

Hi,

I use some fonts in my SVG, but it is not guaranteed that these fonts are available on all machines where my client is installed. 

Is there a possibilty to embed the fonts in the SVG? How can I do that with Adobe Illustrator?

 

Thanks,

Tamas

yes, it is possible. You can use SVG fonts.

The newest release of Adobe Illustrator (CS2) supports export of SVG 
fonts, either for all glyphs used in the document or for the whole font. 
So does CorelDraw.

But you can also convert truetype to SVG fonts with Batik (see 
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ttf2svg.html) or you can use the 
free fontforge program to convert any font-format to SVG fonts.

See also the SVG spec for embedding fonts:
