It would be a nice feature if you can export text as outlines inside an SVG.
Example:
Right now text exports as real text by default:
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 65 45">
<!-- svg-source:excalidraw -->
<defs>
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: "Virgil";
src: url("https://excalidraw.com/FG_Virgil.woff2");
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Cascadia";
src: url("https://excalidraw.com/Cascadia.woff2");
}
</style>
</defs>
<g transform="translate(10 10) rotate(0 22.5 12.5)">
<text x="0" y="18" font-family="Virgil" font-size="20px" fill="#000000" text-anchor="start" style="white-space: pre;" direction="ltr">Test</text>
</g>
</svg>But that only works if you want to display a real font. It fails if:
- for some reason a viewer can not fetch an external font (e.g. due to security policies), or
- software can't display external fonts. Like the default macOS finder:
When a user would be able to choose to convert text to outlines (like in a vector program) this could be used to overcome this problem.
