I started experimenting with SVG and I’m not sure if this is something I’m doing wrong, it’s not supported or it’s just a Firefox bug.

This is the line in SVG 

<text x="177" y="658">Web Interactive</text>

These are the styles 

svg text{
position:relative;
font-size:7.3em;
font-family:'GothamBookRegular',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-variant:normal;
font-style:normal;
text-transform:uppercase;
text-align:left;
fill:#282828;
color:#282828;
}

This works in Opera, Chrome, IE9 and Safari. I’ve also tested letter-spacing, and it works on all but Firefox too.

    It doesn’t work in all browsers because it is not a valid SVG property. It doesn’t appear in this list:

    There were questions about it on Bugzilla, but the conclusion was not to add it to Firefox.
