I do not think this really works for a related SVG, for example here is a Firefox bug . It works if you embed SVG in HTML and then create CSS rules as follows:
svg .text { font-family:"Familiar Pro Bold", 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; }
Of course, this will only work in browsers that support HTML5. Here is an example .
