Font in svg file

I create a svg file with php which includes a dynamic text. Therefore I have embedded the used font with <font><font-face><glyph>....
This works fine with Chrome, but Firefox uses the standard font. How can I use an embedded font in the svg file?
Thanks in advance
Manuel

@Sourjobraato Banerjee: Sorry, I didn't get your point. The file was created by Adobe Illsutrator so it should be SVG 1.1 conform.
@jscher2000: You can see an example here: http://events.tsv-bodnegg.de/files/header.php?text=Example
The text "example" shout be shown in Roboto.
@core-el: The docs say that <font> is not implemented (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SVG_in_Firefox) but the tutorial (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/SVG_fonts) says it should work.
I have an image attached. It should look like the chrome version.

Font in SVG file is not displayed correctly. "Error in parsing value for 'font-size'. Declaration dropped."

I am trying to view an SVG file but it is unreadable because the font in the diagram is too large.
In the Firefox error console, I see a CSS error:
Error in parsing value for 'font-size'. Declaration dropped.
What's happening?
(Please cc your reply to [email protected])

Firefox's Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) collects lots of those style rule warnings. Some style rules only work in particular browsers (such as "filter" which is for IE), so Firefox notes that it doesn't recognize them. This information is more for the web developer's benefit than yours, since you can't do much to change the site.
To see serious errors and filter out the style warnings, click the Errors button at the top. Hopefully a lot less clutter.
Anyway, are you asking because something isn't working correctly?

How to specify fonts in text in SVG file?

I've got an Edge Animate composition that includes a bunch of SVG files which specify (inside the svg files themselves) that a particular font should be used. So for instance, there's text in the SVG that's set to render in Arial. If I view that SVG by itself in the browser, the text is rendered in Arial. But when that SVG is part of an Edge composition, the text in that SVG reverts to some other default font.
The same problem happens when I try to specify a custom web font inside the SVG. The web font shows up fine when viewing the SVG independently, but when it's part of an Edge composition, it reverts to a default (Some serif font: Times, I think.)
Let me stress this is NOT about specifying the fonts in Edge itself (by adding the web font to the edge composition, and then styling text from within the Edge Animate interface): this is about text that has been specified in the SVG file in Illustrator. That font specification is ignored when the SVG is brought into Edge.
This text in the SVG shows as Arial when I'm in the Edge Animate interface, but when I view the whole composition in the browser, that's when it reverts to a different font.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've given up on fonts embedded in SVGs for now. I tried using SVGs with all text converted to outlines. That solved the type problem. But it of course made all the SVGs very large. I'm now having a problem with the Edge composition not fully loading.
It throws some javascript errors that indicate that al the libraries haven't loaded. Or, sometimes it just pulls up a blank page and nothing ever shows up, even when there are no javascript errors. The errors are mostly this:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined byod_edgeActions.js:191(anonymous function)byod_edgeActions.js:191
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'okToLaunchComposition' byod_edgePreload.js:27
edgeCallbackbyod_edgePreload.js:27
(anonymous function)byod_edgePreload.js:15
tbyod_edgePreload.js:11
dbyod_edgePreload.js:10
I.b.onreadystatechange.b.onloadbyod_edgePreload.js:10
So I'm thinking the loader is trying to move on to execute code when it hasn't loaded what it needs. This was happening on Firefox and Chrome. So now I've converted some of the larger SVGs to PNGs, which brought their file size down considerably. This eliminated the error on Firefox, but I'm still getting it in Chrome. I think it's just taking too long to load all my animations. It's a pretty big composition: an infographic that's 548 px wide by 3100 px tall. It has 8 animations in it, each as a symbol. There are perhaps 80 individual graphic elements in total that are involved in the animations.
Even when those graphic files are as small as I can make them, Chrome still errors out before displaying anything.
If it just turns out that this is too big a composition to be done in Edge Animate, I'm in big trouble, as a client has already paid for this.
I'm hoping I can find a way to slow down the loader and make it wait until everything is loaded before moving on. But it's tough, as the edgePreload.js file wasn't meant to be tampered with, and is minified. I don't mind having a preload image appear for a while with a "loading..." message. But if it never loads...
Not sure how to proceed, really.

Reducing SVG File Size

I'm using Wallaby for simple animations, and as long as you remember what Flash features aren't supported (eg, filters), it's working fine. However, the SVG files are rather bloated. I've brought them into Illustrator and re-saved them, which resulted in a huge reduction in file size.
One gotcha to fix: For whatever reason (Wallaby guys?), an underscore is placed before the font name, as in _Book Antiqua. Illustrator of course can't find the font. Open the SVG file that Wallaby generates with a text editor (I used TextWrangler) to remove the underscore, and all will be well.
The resulting animations work fine on Webkit browsers (including Safari iOS). I'm assuming code for Gecko browsers is coming. Unfortunately, nonWebkit browsers grab the first frame of the animation and display that. The work around is to take a screenshot of the SWF's final state, optimize it, import that into the first frame of a new Flash layer, insert a keyframe in the second frame, and delete the screen shot. No animation, but a pretty reasonable image.
Wallaby is a great idea because (IMHO) nothing beats Flash as an environment for creating animations. I'm sure Wallaby will become only better with time, though improving it obviously nontrivial. Thanks, Wallaby guys, for a great effort.

Hello,
Hmmm... I've run into an unexpected problem. I'd like to scale the unscaled data from DAQmx for some calculations during the data collection, but it isn't scaling the way I would have expected.
My range is +/-10V and the largest unscaled numbers for data filling that range are very roughly about +/-125000. I would have expected them to approach 2^31 (one bit for sign)!! How can one scale this data?
Also, my saved TDMS file doesn't seem to have the information that "Cont Acq&Graph Voltage - Graph Unscaled Data from File (TDMS).vi" needs to scale it.
Regarding I16, my data is unusual in that it contains a signal of interest that is about 80 dB below the stimuli that are also in the measurement. For that reason I need the full I32 to avoid excessive quantization error in the signal of interest.
Thanks again!

Has anyone got embedded fonts in SVG to work on Mac OS X Lion?

I have used CS3, CS4 suite versions of illustrator on Snow leopard, and embedding fonts worked correctly,
but on several computers at work here, none of the CS5 or CS5.5 suite versions of illustrator embed fonts in SVG format on Lion.
I have also tried CS4 on Lion and still does not work...
Saving as SVG without fonts works fine,
Saving with fonts shows error message and no fonts are ever brought over.
This shows brand new ai file with a text box and three letters in standard font:
This shows saving as SVG to documents folder (does not matter where saving to, issue still exists):
This shows the SVG options (Note font is SVG, subsetting is common english and glyphs used.)
Error message:
Does not matter how many fonts are attempted to be embedded, no fonts (with glyphs translation) ever show up on the svg file.
Any suggestions?
Other than
reinstall lion completely, then reinstall CS5 then CS5.5(DONE, does not work)
reinstall lion completely, then reinstall CS5.5 only(DONE, does not work)

This is what i currently have to do:
Currently i use a secondary PPC computer with leopard 10.5 and Illustrator CS3 on it, and save the file as svg using those settings (fonts).
Open the CS3 svg in text edit
Copy fonts created in CS3 and then paste in CS5 svg file which i created on the intel computer with lion (mac 10.7)
Also tested this in mountain lion 10.8, still same error, have to do this stupid workaround for now....

Trying to work with .svg file

I downloaded an .svg file from wikipedia here http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Map_of_Virginia_Counties_and_Independen t_Cities.svg
I can open the file and it tells me I don't have the font used but I can't see any of the artwork. Is there something I am doing wrong, I really don't want to have to re-create this if I can use this file. Please help.

That worked, I didn't even think to try that! Thanks so much!!!

FrameMaker 10 Corrupts Searchable Text in SVG Files

I notice that a font issue occurs with SVG files in FrameMaker 10.0.2.419 saved as PDF.
1. Open a FrameMaker document that contains SVG images. The SVG images contain text. Text is in Arial font.
2. Save FrameMaker file as PDF.
3. Search PDF file for instances of words contained in SVG images. Text not found. Text is rendered correctly. But upon inspection, when copied and pasted into NotePad, text is rendered as squares: . Acrobat properties show that the original font is ArialMT.
Things I already tried:
Font embedding settings in Distiller. No effect.
Using File > Print in FrameMaker instead of Save as PDF. No effect.
Using a different version of Distiller. No effect.
Using a printer instead of Distiller and printing a post-script file. No effect.
It seems instead to be an issue with the FrameMaker patch that updated the version to 10.0.2.419. Prior to that patch, things seemed to work correctly. And things seem to work correctly in FrameMaker 8.
Thanks,
Jason

Arnis,
Thanks for your offline replies. To summarize, we found that it's either the CoolType engine or the SVG import filter. One of those is converting the fonts to the CID Identity-H format and rendering it unsearchable in the PDF file. In FM8, it depends upon the font specified as to whether or not it gets converted to the CID Identity-H format.
Font Type
FM8
FM10
TTF
OK
CID
OTF
CID
CID
Type 1 PS
Fails
CID
So the newer versions of FM always convert SVG fonts to CID, while older version does not convert TrueType fonts to CID. That's why FM8 appeared to handle SVG-text conversions correctly.
I took it upon myself to attempt swapping out the CoolType.dll file to see if an older version would work with FrameMaker 10. But this did not work, and depending on the .dll version, caused FrameMaker to crash.
We talked about a potential solution with ExtendScripts where we might create a script that extracts the text strings from the SVG, which is a simple XML format with the text is clearly delineated-- so perhaps an XSLT to get the strings externally first-- puts the text strings in a look-up table associated with the svg filename and then in the documents adds those text strings (using the invisible colour) to the anchored frames containing the appropriate svg. But this seems like a big project to me. I don't think I could spare the time.
We suggest (for now) to use another graphic file format OR re-enter the required text using either the Text tool or a text frame overtop of the graphic (use a custom colour so you can see it and then before generating the PDF, redefine the colour to render as white so it's invisible in the PDF). That way, a search in the PDF will stop at the graphic.
We are reporting this as a bug.

Can't open svg files

Hi all! I have a 2008 iMac I've been using for a long time. I just bought a new 2013 iMac. I'm using Illustrator CS6 (via the cloud). I work for a company that has me download svg files. I normally open those using Illustrator (I am using the same version of Illustrator on both computers). When I used to open the svg files, I would get a message that says, "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified." Below that it says, "Sans-serf: An unknown problem occured." But then I'd click "OK" and it would open just fine.
On my new iMac, when I double click on the same svg file, I get the message, "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [CANT].
So... what can I do? It doesn't give me any options at all!

Svg file different in Illustrator and GoLive

Hi All
as the title says Iam having an issue with text only svg files generated in Illustrator cs not displaying all formatting when placed in a page in goLive,
namely, I have specified "small caps" for text which is being dropped when it gets to goLive...
I have tried every combination of all glyphs and embedding while saving i can think of to no avail...
anyone got any suggestions...
cheers
jb
i tried uploading the files but got a "content not allowed" message

If you don't see that option within the export to SVG function, then you can outline your special fonts in Illustrator before selecting the export to SVG function.

Error opening svg files Illustrator CC

Hi, I used to open and edit SVG files exported from HighCharts without any issue. I now get the following error when I try to open these files:
"The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [CANT]"
I'm not sure if it's related but this issue has only started since I ran the new updates for Adobe Premier, After Effects & Speed Grade.
I'm running OS X Mavricks on a Macbook Pro.
Anyone else having the same issue?

you probably miss a typeface used in the svg file, either:
- install the missing fonts
- take out the references to fonts using a texteditor (remove attributes like font-family="'Calibri'")

How do I use an Edge Animate project with SVG files in InDesign for DPS output?

Is there any way to include an Edge Animate web content using .svg files in InDesign for output to DPS?
Edge Animate works great with InDesign, except for when you're using SVG files. I've worked with SVG files on the web successfully (writing .htaccess files and such), but it seems like InDesign doesn't like them.
This is pretty important because I don't want to have to design multiple renditions on the DPS suite. Currently I have it setup as a PDF format (DPS) and that scales all of the vector-based type perfectly. It would be wonderful if the animations could also be in a vector format so that when the iPad (3) users see the designs, they will scale naturally through the PDF framework.
Any advice would be invaluable.
Thanks!

How to save an SVG file without opening it in a browser tab first?

Sometimes I have to download very large SVG files. These files are generated dinamically by a web server, when I select some options in a web form. Thus, there is no link to click: an action on the web page causes Firefox to spawn a new tab and try to open the SVG file inside it. The file can be very large, and Firefox can get stuck in trying to display it, before I can right-click on the image and select "save as" to get the file I'm interested in.
I would like that, upon requesting an SVG web resource, Firefox ask me how I want to deal with the resource: displaying it online, opening with an external application, or saving it - exactly in the same fashion as with PDF files.
Thank you!

The only way to get Firefox to offer to save the SVG image would be to force a content type that Firefox doesn't recognize as supported natively.

Is it possible to export Vector Smart Objects as vector SVG files from Photoshop CC 2014?

I have Vector Smart Objects copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. I would like to export them as vector SVG files (using Generator or Extract Assets). I can add the .svg extension to the layer and actually export an SVG just fine. The problem is any SVG I have exported have all been raster images. It defeats the purpose of having that as an option as far as I'm concerned.
I remember watching and listening to keynotes and other speakers at Adobe MAX 2014 who said it was so powerful and amazing to create SVG files from Photoshop. If we're still exporting raster SVG files from Photoshop...that's not very impressive or exciting--especially since this era of modern web development benefits greatly from using vector SVG files.
I understand that Shape Layers can be exported as vector SVG files but that seems very limiting. I also realize that users can create some impressive vectors in Photoshop, but that is not optimal. Illustrator is a better tool for creating vectors and I normally use Photoshop and Illustrator side-by-side. I know that vector SVG files can be exported from Illustrator but that isn't as user friendly and convenient as utilizing Photoshop > Generator > Reflow.
My idea was to create my assets in Illustrator, paste them into Photoshop as Vector Smart Objects, set up my layout, and then use the Generator/Reflow method or Extract Assets to get a new web design started.
Maybe I misunderstood what the speakers at Adobe MAX had said. Perhaps it's just user error and I'm just missing something simple (it happens).
Photoshop CC 2014 notes the following under Help > System Info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532 x64
Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time.

Not quite the same, but have a look at the new Libraries feature that came with 2014.2.2 I just tried it, and dragging a vector object into a library I created in Photoshop, was there in Illustrator. This happens without having to close and reopen Illustrator. Just use the drop down at the top of the Libraries panel (in Illustrator) to find your custom, or job specific library.

javax.imageio API allows you to write/create a jpeg/png/bmp/wbmp ... image format. I don't think there's support for svg. you'll have to look for some third party plugin.
