 ''yagraph: I've removed the Erik Dahlström [http://my.opera.com/MacDev_ed/blog/2011/01/25/on-mythbusting-and-the-web-and-why-svg-fonts-are-sometimes-useful list], irrelevant here as Roc pointed.''
+''Jelle: How about generating SVG fonts dynamically? I can't see that happen with WOFF or whatever, but for instance creating handwritten fonts to give content a more personal aspect would be easy with SVG fonts. I can imagine a multitude of cases that would benefit of such use.
+Animated characters to show how to produce them would be nice for those learning Hanzi or Kanji and Alphabets alike. But I don't consider that to be that important.
+I would love to just use SVG fonts and not have to ask people to use Opera, Chrome, Safari or others that do at least support 1.2 Tiny. Webkit seems to do a decent job at it, so how possible is it to implement the code used there? SVG fonts do support Unicode like ''FL'', ''IK'' and other kerned pairs, so I don't quite understand what makes Indic scripts so different. Wouldn't that rather be a matter for the textprocessor to handle rather than the font format? (i.e. combination X+Y=''glyph#unicode''). The nice thing about SVG fonts is that you can easily define whatever glyph and give it its character code.''
