I've tested it in Squiggle, Apache Batik 1.7, and that looked okay too. There seems nothing to be wrong with your code. I was able to make it work in Opera 9.62 by removing the <style> element and adding font-size="0.275px" fill="white" to the containing <g> element instead. This also is a shorter notation. Interestingly, when instead of using the font-size attribue I declare the font size in the style attribute of the <g> element, it does not work. So the problem occurs when CSS is used to set the font size, but not with the presentation attribute. I don't see any reason why both notations should not be equivalent in this case. This seems to be a bug in Opera. I've encountered the similar problem that setting the font family in a CSS stylesheet didn't work in Opera, whereas using the presentation attribute worked. Now I'm curious if removing the CSS and using presentation attributes would also make it work in Safari. When CSS is applied to SGML or XML text it makes sense to let the user set a minimum font size, which overwrites author stylesheets, and in a flow layout this would do no harm. Maybe this, in combination with the identification of CSS pixels with current user coordinate units is at the root of Safari's problem. If that's the case, then it might be avoided by using presentation attributes, assuming these are not internally translated to CSS and handled by the CSS engine.
