[Bug 81608] Re: Please use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default font

[Michiel Sikma]

I don't see how DejaVu Sans could have broken that image. I've not  
made many SVG graphics with non-outline text in them, but it would  
seem to me that you can never be certain about how it will be rendered.

That SVG graphic you linked to seems to have "Bitstream Vera Sans"  
hardcoded in it as font. This is a good thing, as it means there is  
(should be) no uncertainty about how the font will look on other  
people's computers. If a system has Bitstream Vera Sans installed on  
it, the image should display correctly. I'm unsure how a completely  
different font that happens to also be the system's default font,  
DejaVu Sans, could cause this image to be rendered differently. Am I  
missing something?
