= SVG fonts
{c}
The major problem with SVG is text <computer fonts>. If you make an image with text that depends on one <computer font> and it is not present in the viewer's machine, it will use some other font, which may overlap with other elements of the image. Some libraries <Matplotlib> solve this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34387893/output-matplotlib-figure-to-svg-with-text-as-text-not-curves[by writing characters as curves], but this produces large files and unsearchable text. The inability of different computer platforms to standardize fonts that must always be present is a major issue.
