| Summary |
SVG Text Layout takes an in-depth look at the many ways designers can manipulate text within SVG, from adding simple text labels to letter-by-letter positioning of artistic text. You'll learn how both artistic fonts and SVG painting effects can be used to decorate text, and discusses various approaches for increasing consistency between different web browsers and other software. |
