Description Oliver Hunt 2006-01-10 19:15:23 PST 
RTL text appears to use a margin too far to the right (eg. outside of SVG clipping region.  See the two rtl 
examples in the referenced W3C test.
Comment 1 mitz 2006-01-13 07:26:04 PST 
The problem is not RTL per se but rather the text-align property. If you set text-align to left explicitly on 
the rtl example, they render correctly. On the other hand, setting text-align to center or right on any text 
moves it too far to the right.

I don't know what (if anything) text-align should mean in SVG, so I have no idea about how this should be 
fixed.

Closing, this was fixed as a byproduct of the text fixes from late last year.
