Thanks for your help. I have exported an AI file to SVG to see how it is done and will try to revise my program accordingly.

Thanks for your reply Bobby. The SVG files are created by a VB program that I wrote myself, starting in 2004 and much modified since, so it may not be "pure" SVG. Here is the SVG heading and the part that does the text on path. It displays correctly in the firefox and edge browsers. <svg version='1.1' encoding='UTF-8' baseProfile='full' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink' xmlns:ev='http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events' xml:space='preserve' viewBox='0 0 1080 1030' <g id="gla test" fill="none" stroke="none"> <path id="east_rongbuk_52698T" d="M 301.3 228.2 S 328.3 226.12 342.6 228.2 362.18 234.12 372.8 238.6 382.72 246.12 395.7 250.6 424.16 257.16 437.7 261 453.24 265 463.4 269.8 478.9 277.32 488.5 285 501.9 294.26 511.4 308.2 529.72 338.36 536 354.7 539.44 378.22 542.8 389.9 547 403.66 552.8 413.1 562.52 427.18 571.8 437.1 589.8 453.58 599.2 462.7 611.64 474.86 618.8 482.7 630.2 487.98 635 501.9 638.9 527.1 642.8 552.3" /> <text fill="deepskyblue" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle"> <textPath href="#east_rongbuk_52698T" startOffset="50%"> Dong Rongbu (East Rongbuck) Glacier </textPath> </text> </g>

I was surprised to see that Illustrator cannot import Text of a path from an SVG file. I create maps with a program that generates svg files which I then import to Illustrator for final editing. I recently learned how to do Text on a pth in SVG but when I imported this into Illustrator the text became individual letters jumbled together away from the path. This is an important feature that needs to be included.
