[Bug 573365] Re: SVG text positioned incorrectly

[Draycen DeCator]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
- Hi,
- If you go to site http://zonken.de/?go=aboutme you will see a SVG  file.
- If you have a deeper look at the words, you see that the words are overlapping here.
- I have the impression that the position of letters will not be consiedered, like described in SVG.
- If you open the page in opera 10.10, you see how I would expect it also in firefox (without the special character issue).
- Inkscape also displays that file like I expected.
- Is this a bug or am I wrong?
+ Description:
+ In Firefox versions below 3.7, SVG text is not displayed properly due to restrictions in ways that Firefox supports text placement. If you go to http://zonken.de/?go=aboutme then you will see that much of the text overlaps. 
  
- Regards Rico
+ Status:
+ This has been fixed upstream in Firefox 3.7 as of 03/30/10 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_activity.cgi?id=388547), but will most likely not be backported since this is not a security issue.
