Font embedding
----------------

The below FAQ entry from  http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net/FAQ implies embedding is supported.

I converted a simple math formula but get garbage when displaying the SVG. What's wrong?  

The generated SVG is valid but your SVG viewer/editor probably
doesn't support embedded fonts. Actually, only few SVG renderers, e.g. Batik
evaluate embedded fonts properly. You can run dvisvgm with option --no-fonts to
replace the fonts with path elements. Most viewers should render the resulting
SVG file correctly. As a drawback, you get bigger files, and the information
about the text (characters, baselines, ...) gets lost.
