css - Are SVG fonts still working in Google Chrome? -

i have been redesigning website while on , off, lastly 6 months i've been out of loop speak , may have missed of import regarding svg fonts no longer working chrome?

here snippet of 1 of stylesheets:

@media screen , (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { @font-face { font-family: 'newfont'; src: url("newfont-webfont.svg#newfont") format("svg"); }}

i've replaced svg woff version , fonts ok, svg looked improve in chrome particular font, whatever reason svg won't display fonts, i'm sure few months ago fine.

i've done little research , found link: http://blog.chromium.org/ "svg fonts no longer supported, except on windows systems older windows 7. note while feature works on systems, considered deprecated." version 38.

any particular reason no longer supporting them , there need them in stylesheet other browsers/platforms can tell me?

chrome no longer supporting svg fonts as of chrome 38 because see workaround poor font rendering (just how said svg version 'looks better'). svg fonts don't back upwards kerning or ligatures. it's of import note ie doesn't back upwards svg fonts , firefox never will.
