In the SVG spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/fonts.html#FontFaceElementFontFamilyAttribute
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/fonts.html#defined-to-exist
There are a set of 'fallback' font family names defined: serif, sans-serif,
cursive, fantasy, monospace. Additionally, some SVG UAs (especially Inkscape),
default to using "Sans" as an alias for "Sans-Serif".
At present, svgweb map all of these to the default font (serif) in the Flash
viewer.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an SVG file with font-family set to
'Serif'/'Sans-Serif'/'Cursive'/'Monospace'
2. Load it in svgweb, comparing it to an alternative SVG viewer.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? See attached PNG: svgweb
uses 'serif' for all 'default' fonts.
The Flash Player defines '_sans', '_serif' and '_typewriter' as similar
defaults for device fonts:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/fonts_03.html
so, it's pretty easy (e.g. see attached SVGFonts.as) to map these default
fonts, by adding the following to SVGTextNode.addTextFieldChunk:
textFormat.font = SVGFonts.mapToSWFFont(fontFamily);
(see 'expected' image in PNG file attached).
Obviously, 'cursive' and 'fantasy' do not have defaults in the Flash Player, so
can't be used, but this approach works well for Sans/Serif and Monospace;
although, naturally, the formatting of fonts may vary from the original
diagram, but this is expected in the spec.
