[Inkscape-devel] svg and music/symbol fonts

Hi there,

I'm implementing SVG output for LilyPond, but I cannot get Inkscape to display LilyPond's custom feta music font.

As the font does not have a unicode mapping and uses a custom/fontSpecific encoding I would expect Inkscape to map the characters onto the unicode PUA. Alas, that does seem not happen. This is what Sodipodi does (but Sodipodi has other font problems).

Can I instruct Inkscape to map this font to the 0xe000 area, and how? Possibly by fixing the fonts.cache-1 listing, or adding an SVG text style attribute?

Attached is a small LilyPond svg output and the LilyPond-feta 20 font.

Greetings, Jan.
