Why don't some fonts export correctly as svg?

[chris.bannu]

Hi guys,

I have been exporting as svg with Affinity without a problem until today. I installed some new fonts today, and after exporting the svg and viwing it into the Firefox/Chrome, the fonts look different from the ones I used, even though if I inspect the text it's actually the correct font. This problem is only in browsers, if I open the svg with Affinity the font displays correctly. Is this a browser problem, a font problem, or an Affinity problem?

Thank you,

Chris

It might be due to fallback on available system fonts and the way they the font is declared, referenced and used inside of SVG files. - Take a look at general SVG font usages, tryout those and compare the results with your SVGs.

• System Fonts in SVG

• About fonts in SVG (old one but still valid)

• The svg font problem and its solution

... and so on, do a Google search.

Hey v_kyr, thanks for the answer, I will have a quick read when I finish work today

What's funny is that IE can render the font just fine  while FF and Chrome can't.
