I created a SVG font file and wanted to try kerning between two glyphs (V and G in the attached file). The kerning works when open the SVG file directly in browser but does not work if i include it in HTML styles using @font-face The same SVG file I converted to ttf and included in html file works in firefox. Steps to reporduce (attached sample files in .zip file): 1. Create a svg font file with kerning pair defined using hkern 2. create a HTML file which reference SVG fonts using @font-face{ font-family: kern; src:url(font01.svg) format('svg'); } Expected result: Expected kerning to occur between the kern pair Actual Results: No Kerning visible. Although the text was displayed using font defined in SVG

Just to more pinpoint the problem. Kerning does not work in webkit only when referring to a svg font file in @font-face Kerning does work in webkit when using ttf/woff font in @font-face
