Here's an amusing thing: Have a look at the KWLUG logo, first in<br>
Firefox (or some other Gecko browser), then in Chromium (or some other<br>
Webkit browser). The font for "LinuX" is rendered as sans-serif in<br>
Gecko, but avec-serif in Webkit.<br>

Hi Bob,<br>

They look the same to me in Firefox and Chromium.<span class="gmail-"><br></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The SVGs are using "Arial Black".<br><br></div><div>Rendering would depend fonts installed, fallbacks configured, defaults, and preferences (likely including biases from both fontconfig and web browser in there, as well).

The !Fediverse pays attention to us[1]: @<a href="mailto:vinz@gnusocial.de" target="_blank">vinz@gnusocial.de</a> recommends<br>
we convert the logo's fonts into paths to avoid display issues.<br>

It appears they already *are* converted to paths (SVG file).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The logo is an SVG file, but the text is just text, not yet traced to paths.
