folks like me?.

Grab a trunk while they're there.

hmm, the official SVG project page points me to
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/mozilla-win32-svg-mathml.zip

but this file doesn't exist.

Also this exposes a bug in Mozilla 1.0; the hourglass cursor remains
after you dismiss the dialogue box telling you that the file doesn't
exist.

Yep, your write, I just took a peek in
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/
which is the folder listing and there is no Win SVG there.
There is one for Linux RH7

Check it again in a day or so, or grab this one
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-06-03-08-trunk/mozilla-win32-svg-mathml.zip
I do not build them.

I've also noticed a few 'bugs' in the mail/news program of Mozilla 1.
Blanked out delete function of mails (this seems to come and go)
False numbers of unread headers in the news program. A shame really.
the trunk # 20020603 (SVG-MathMl) that I'm using today hasn't shown these.

it's there now - ftp.mozilla.org was only serving
/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.0 for a day or so
when mozilla 1.0 was released

now thre are svg builds in :

releases/mozilla1.0
nightly/latest-1.0.0 <- branch headed toward 1.0.1
nightly/latest-trunk <- trunk headed toward 1.1alpha
nightly/latest-1.0 <- same as releases/mozilla1.0

Yup, got it. Big disappointment though to see that text support is
*still* not there.

AFAIK there is no way of rotating text using HTML and CSS attributes,
so we are dependent on SVG to do this. Rotated text is *crucial* for
applications such as label printing, something that would be pretty
much the 'killer app' for SVG. (because being able to design and
format labels in HTML/SVG is a dream I have had for a *long* time -
labels are not exciting, maybe, but billions are printed each year and
having a platform-neutral print engine that can do this will be
incredibly important to almost any organisation - even rocket
scientists need to print labels!.

I see there's a sneak preview of text support; does anyone know when
the first betas will be ready?.
