Making the svg isn't the problem. It's that I was told the pages using svg simply did not appear on some devices. (iPad using their Kindle player.)
Since it worked for me, in Sigil, Calibre, and Amazon's Kindle previewer, but not my client, who is on another continent, trying to track down the problems(s) is impractical. Every modify/check takes a day and we have a deadline.
I've had to back off from using elegant code several times because of this kind of issue.
I know some people leap into things like media queries and try to code for every device separately, I don't have the time and am not earning enough from this one job to devote the time and money (to buy hardware) to make it work. So I use the simplest, least demanding code that works in all cases.
In this case, I have 2 solutions that do work: embedded font and embedded image. Going forward I hope I can make the font subsetting work better. A file that works and has standard coding is preferable, to me, even at the cost of a bloated file.
