then don't use fonts implementing it like that. It's that simple and
definitely not difficult. If we implemented a suckless renderer we
could then also just discard embedded SVG naturally.
I'm not a OTF/TTF expert, but I think it even allows font files to
contain "native" fallbacks for provided embedded SVG.
The vast majority of fonts uses the "native" OTF/TTF format anyway and
will in the future, because anything else would be a waste of resources
both on the font-developer-side and the rendering-part.
With best regards
