SVG fonts are being used as a workaround for poor font rendering in Chrome on Windows but are otherwise poorly supported (no kerning or ligatures!) and incompatible with other browsers. Now that DirectWrite has brought us beautiful fonts on Windows[1] we should drop support for SVG fonts. SVG fonts were dropped from SVG2[2] and neither Firefox nor IE support them[3].
