Thanks for the feedback, a quick fix is to install php7 instead of php5:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0  # php-gettext php-xdebug libapache2-mod-php7.0

But I would like to get away from using PHP altogether to focus on JS.

Talk on npm module for SVG conversion moved to /issues/5.

Thanks, might be useful to know about opentype.js. I did some test with text-to-svg it's working and will serve as a base component for the project.

I will use webfont package in the future so PHP should not be necessary anymore.
