Bug 15042 – SVG text baseline-shift being ignored

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: SVG

[Glenn Brauen]

Webkit ignores the baseline-shift specification for SVG text.  I will attach a simple SVG file that demonstrates this problem.  This example is rendered properly in Batik.  Both Firefox and Webkit show this defect.

I have tested on both PPC and Intel Macs.

Confirmed on webkit nightlys (r25168).

SVG file that displays text samples with and without baseline-shift.

The MIME type of the test case should be image/svg+xml but I don't appear to have permission to change it.

Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0 (3.0, Build 76) also renders this example correctly.

Thnx for the report!
I checked on our development branch and can confirm that it works there. We hope to make that available soon and then the nightlies will have this functionality.
Cheers,

Rob.

Rob, 

Thanks for the update.

Closing.  The bug is fixed on feature-branch.  IMO there could/should just be a bug "merge feature branch into trunk" which folks waiting on feature-branch fixes can watch.

(Nice test case, btw.  Thanks for the bug!)
