Hi, Richard-
The proper way to do this is to specify the mm units in the root, like so:
svg version='1.1' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'
xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink' width='200mm' height='400mm'
This means that all values that do not have unit markers themselves will use
millimeters. This is the only way of specifying units for the path
element, in fact.
As for fonts, I'm not sure why you should have a problem there. Have you
tried a different font?
Of course, using mm units on screens with different resolution will rarely
have the intended effect, but it may be appropriate for printing.
Regards-
Doug
