I realize it's far from a best practice and even explicitly stated as a bad idea somewhere in the SVG spec, but the idea of a document editor where you can individually position each and every character and make detailed, individual glyphs natively without loading fonts is interesting to me.
Are there any examples of this? Or perhaps different (better) approaches to a document editor with the advantages I said above?
Even if I were to make a document editor in SVG, I would still use the <text> element with a font, rather than positioning every character separately or even rendering every letter as a path. That would be incredibly wasteful I think.
