Hi  
If I drag and drop a svg file and select save and link option, the fonts that use in the svg will not render correctly if that font doesn’t exist in client device.  
But if I select embedded svg and it load svg DOM in the view the fonts render correctly. (Of course the font should exist in ignition don’t folder)  
So is this a bug that even though svg save as image it problem with fonts?

When you say “save as an image”, are you talking about dragging it into Perspective and adding it into the Image Management tool? These are actually stored as SVGs still, as vector formats became supported in the IM tool in v8. Regardless, it doesn’t solve your font problem…

Yes I mean that.  
But I wonder what is the different between these two mode so one support font and one doesn’t support it.
