Created attachment 122387 [details] screenshot of all 4 SVG files in LO Steps: 1) Open Writer 2) Insert each of the following SVGs one after the other https://dev.w3.org/SVG/tools/svgweb/samples/svg-files/DroidSerif-Regular.svg https://dev.w3.org/SVG/tools/svgweb/samples/svg-files/DroidSerif-Italic.svg https://dev.w3.org/SVG/tools/svgweb/samples/svg-files/DroidSerif-Bold.svg https://dev.w3.org/SVG/tools/svgweb/samples/svg-files/DroidSerif-BoldItalic.svg 3) Notice that they all look identical when opening these same files in a browser wont The SVG file defines glyphs for each character and LO instead utilizes the font file located on a user's computer.

SVG fonts are not supported yet. The specification of SVG fonts is in https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/fonts.html.
still repro in 6.1 beta 2
Created attachment 183728 [details] corresponding font for reference The linked specification is now obsolete: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/fonts.html Quoting: "The elements that were defined in this chapter are now obsolete. The CSS Fonts Module defines how to specify fonts for documents including SVG." The example files in this report use the SVG 1.0 spec. Does it mean we should be closing this as "Won't Fix"? Or do we still want to be able to be compatible? Inkscape 1.2 doesn't display the four files differently either.
