The patch indeed increased the file size of svg output,
but neither Sodipodi nor Firefox rendered the fonts.
I tested also the SVG rendering of Opera browser, but it
also did not show the fonts.

In the status page of the SVG development in Firefox
 http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/status.html
the Font Module (e.g. font, font-face, glyph, etc.) is basically
unimplemented. Some time is still needed for the module
to appear implemented.

In any case, the SVG output will be a great feature,
once the viewers are being implemented.
