--- CONTINUE READING if you want to see some SVGFonts rendering. I got it! ---
Since we don't have pango integration yet, I have used a little trick. I am working on the cairo-based implementation of SVGFonts rendering and I am viewing this rendering on a separate gtkWindow. Once we get pango integration (which could possibly be after the end of SoC, anyway) we can get rid of this auxiliary window. The window is created only when there is a svgfont in the document, so that will not be a problem for documents which don't use this feature. Remember, this is just a temporary way of getting things done without continuing blocked by the current statu of pango+cairo-userfonts integration.
The new patch is attached to this email. Try openning the share/svgfonts.svg test file to see the rendering. I am also attaching a screenshot of the rendering.
