Re: [matplotlib-devel] FYI: SVG with option "svgfont" enabled hangs inkscape

Yep. That's the reason that's not the default setting. The docs for svg.fonttype says: #svg.fonttype : 'path' # How to handle SVG fonts: #'none': Assume fonts are installed on the machine where the SVG will be viewed. #'path': Embed characters as paths -- supported by most SVG
