Hi,

I am following the resource at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/fonts.ht ... SrcElement
where I am creating
one font01.svg file containing a font (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/examples/font01.svg)
and another font03.svg file referring this font (http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/examples/font03.svg)

Opening font03.svg in a browser works without problems.

Does anyone know whetehr opening the font03.svg is supported in inkscape? If inkscape could import the font from font01.svg and use it while rendering font03.svg.
If not, could you point me to a feature request or a bug since I could not find one.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
I'm sorry no one has answered as yet. I'm not really sure I can answer, but my reply will bring your topic back to the top.

I can open both of those SVGs in Firefox. But I don't understand what you mean by "referring" a font. Or maybe you're trying to create a new font (using SVG Font Editor)??

If inkscape could import the font from font01.svg and use it while rendering font03.svg.

Are you trying to write some kind of code?

If you just need Inkscape to display a certain font, all you need to do is install it on the computer where you use Inkscape. But I have a feeling you're trying to do something much more complex

Inkscape does not yet support SVG fonts for rending text on-canvas (neither SVG fonts embedded in the current document, nor SVG fonts defined in an external file).
Current Inkscape versions (stable and trunk) are limited to fonts installed on the local system for rendering text on-canvas and exports to other formats.

(Note that Inkscape's reference SVG specification is SVG 1.1, not SVG Tiny 1.2)
