Font in svg file
I create a svg file with php which includes a dynamic text. Therefore I have embedded the used font with <font><font><glyph>.... This works fine with Chrome, but Firefox uses the standard font. How can I use an embedded font in the svg file?
Thanks in advance Manuel </font> </font>

Firefox can't handle two different fonts in one svg file. That was the problem.
Thanks for your help. Manuel

As firefox supports HTML 5 so recreate the file with with proper codings.
Can you link to a page demonstrating the issue?
The MDN documentation on glyph is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/SVG/Element/glyph (I don't see any unusual warnings)
@Sourjobraato Banerjee: Sorry, I didn't get your point. The file was created by Adobe Illsutrator so it should be SVG 1.1 conform.
@jscher2000: You can see an example here: http://events.tsv-bodnegg.de/files/header.php?text=Example The text "example" shout be shown in Roboto.
@core-el: The docs say that <font> is not implemented (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SVG_in_Firefox) but the tutorial (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/SVG_fonts) says it should work.
I have an image attached. It should look like the chrome version. </font>
