From the user's side, this is covered in RFE 863323 "FONTS: embedded SVG font support"
thanks
Now... for some cases you might want a document to render properly even if the end users don't have the same font installed, but not need further editing. Sometimes getting the text selected and converting to path is a viable option.
That's precisely the goal of embedded fonts... play on places where the user doesn't have the fonts.
Ahh, yes.
However, you seem to have hit the main problem. Not all user agents support it, while text converted to paths will be universally supported.
But... as user need comes up, we can look at things more. I know that I just tracked down the support for embedded images, so the raw data source side is handled. New code would mainly be in the font specific hooking.
Perhaps getting together a few simple examples of what you'd like to a) see Inkscape display and b) see Inkscape generate can help. Small samples could easily be attached to the RFE. Then saying something on the mailing lists will let the developers know more on the desired support... Oh, wait. You just did that. :-)
