Hi , I kinda managed to make the SVG font editor do something, I believe it is not quite finished yet, or maybe it wasn't working on my build/Os combination.
I used rev21271 from May 1st, on Windows XP.
1) Draw something which looks like (for example) a capital A with the bezier tool
2) Select it (it is in its bounding box after drawing anyway)
3) Menu : Text / Svg font editor
4) Click on "new" at the bottom of the "font" column to start editing a new font (you can rename it)
5) Tab Global setting : I suppose it needs a font family here (but I know nothing about fonts)
6) Tab Glyphs : Click "from selection" at the top (your selected shape)
It draws the shape as a preview at the bottom of the tab. You then click on the first row below "glyph / Unicode"
Enter: A and U0041 respectively in the row
Now type in the "sample text" a Capital A, you should see a preview of your shape
And I'm stuck here :-)
I was expecting the font to show in the list of my fonts, or to be able to select it in the "Text and Font" menu, but it didn't show, so I believe the interface is not finished yet (there is also no way to "save" the font...)
Hope that helps, anyway. Many people asked for SVG fonts! :)

Does anyone know how to use the SVG Font editor in the Text menu? I haven't been able to get any sort of meaningful response from the dialog box that comes with it, and I haven't been able to find any documentation on it.
