Here is how you can embed fonts in SVG documents: (replace <data> with actuall base64-encoded font data):
<style> @font-face { font-family: "Sample font"; src: url("data:font/woff;charset=utf-8;base64,<data>"); } </style>
This technique is already used in Inkscape for embedding PNG images, it should be very easy to implement a plugin that allows for automatic font embedding as well.

In most software (e.g., Scribus, TeX) a font can be embedded in the output document, thus preventing font substitution in a viewer. In inkscape one can simply outline the text, but that makes the text not readable by a web crawler.
Is there a way to actually embed a font in an Inkscape svg document intended for web use?
