font-variant

The font-variant attribute indicates whether the text is to be rendered using variations of the font's {{Glossary("glyph", "glyphs")}}.

[!NOTE] As a presentation attribute, font-variant also has a CSS property counterpart: {{cssxref("font-variant")}}. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

{{SVGElement("text")}}
{{SVGElement("textPath")}}
{{SVGElement("tspan")}}
