Is there any way to convert the single glyphs of a svg font into a svg path, so that i could use those shapes instead of the fonts in an application? Does any one know of any application or program which does such a thing?

I have fonts with kerning, which is working great with SVG and fabricJs. but when i am importing SVG to tcpdf kerning lost. so i want to disable kerning in fabricJs. so font will match with pdf output.
Is there any way to do like this?
I'm looking to to use ImageMagick to convert an SVG file with text and external fonts to another svg without text, instead have them be shapes or outlines.
Basically, can ImageMagick do the equivalent of Illustrator's "Create Outlines" functions?
I can currently convert the svg to png and all the text and fonts render correctly, but I'm just looking to remove need for the person opening the svg to have the correct fonts installed on their computer.
I believe that your installation of ImageMagick needs to be configured with the the "--with-autotrace" switch and Autotrace needs to be installed. Then a simple conversion command should work:
convert text.png vector.svg
I doubt ImageMagick will do it. What you need to do is load the SVG into an editor like Inkscape. Select the text and then convert it using Path->Object to Path.
Then you can save it and you can distribute it without worrying about the user not having the fonts.
Would like to take my logo made in illustrator then turn it into a svg so that i can then use Raphael to animate it. I know how to make a simple image by creating my own path using lineTo.
Didn't know if this is possible or not.
Thank you
Once you save your logo created with Illustrator as svg file, there is a way to convert the SVG into a Raphael object and then you can use it with Raphael library.

If you can, open the page with Firefox. Chrome messes up the page. Good Luck.
Well, if its just the path you need without the colors, stroke widths etc, i would save the illustrator logo as an SVG and then open it with a text editor(say Notepad).
From there i would extract the d attribute as a path and manually add the rest of its ''features'' like colors,stroke widths etc.
I have an SVG file that was generated by Illustrator that I have modified slightly, so that I can use it as a mask on both Webkit and Gecko.
The file has the glyphs I need stored in <font> with a defined font-family. Right after there is a <text> element. This is what Webkit uses directly to create the mask. The font-family value correlates to the defined font and it renders correctly.
Then I have a <mask> element (because Firefox can only use that) with the same <text> element inside of it. It renders, but for some reason the font-family that is being declared won't work. I feel like this is something simple but I have very little experience with SVG (though now I know a hell of a lot more than I did!)
Basically how do I get the element inside mask to be able to reach the <font> element?
Firefox does not support SVG fonts. Convert the SVG font to a woff font by using something like this.
I have an application that needs to apply some transformations to text (including non-affine transformations). Does anyone know of a toolkit (or group of tools) that would let me bring in a True Type or Postscript Font, get the glyphs as outlines, then apply transformations to the outlines and render it as a bitmap or svg file ? Flash won't do non-affine transformations so it is out. Illustrator has a function which converts text to outlines, but Illustrator scripting is very unstable so I can't really use it for this. Thanks for any help.
You could use the Batik TTF to SVG Font converter. The SVG font format uses the same path data format that the SVG <path> element uses.
For example, this is the output from converting Gentium Basic Regular using the above tool. With the right coordinate system, you can just grab out the path data, transform it however you like, and then draw it with a <path>. Note though that the glyph coordinate system in SVG fonts is actually inverted, with the (0,0) at the bottom left corner of the glyph cell box, compared to the regular SVG canvas which has (0,0) at the top left corner. So don't forget to flip the glyph, e.g. by putting transform="scale(1,-1)" on the <path> you use to render the glyph.
Once you have the SVG document that renders the glyphs as shapes you can convert it to a bitmap using your favourite tool. (Batik can do that too.)
While Batik is a good answer, it will convert only TrueType fonts to SVG Fonts. If you have OpenType fonts, and they more and more dominate now, you can use FontForge to get an SVG Font for these. Another advantage of using OpenType is that the produced SVG uses not only quadratic but also cubic Beziers in the path which is more effective.
