Hello all,

I'm using FireFox V77 on Windows 10 to test my SVG output and I came across the problem shown in the attached image.

Here is the text of the SVG file:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" 

    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
    version="1.1" width="1000.000" height="1000.000" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"

   <polygon style="stroke:#FFFFFF;stroke-width:0;fill:#FFFFFF;"
       points="

           0,0 
       "    />
   <polygon style="stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0;fill:#FFFFFF;"

       "    />

It doesn't work for me, even on Edge.

There's no source definition of the external font in the SVG file.

"There's no source definition of the external font in the SVG file. "

Does there need to be? Word and Edge both work with this font. And FireFox correctly uses TimesHeavy and Arial without source definitions.

What would be special about AvenirLTStd-Book?

I wonder if Chrome does (I haven't got Chrome).

Perhaps you have those fonts installed on your system, so it's working for you.

I have all the fonts installed on my system, which is why it is strange that FireFox cannot see just this one. But neither can Explorer...

I noticed also that Edge does not respect the vertical alignment of SVG text, which is a worse problem, so I'll stick with FireFox....!
