I draw SVG marker badges on a Leaflet.js map. The icons represent weather stations and they rotate according to the direction of the wind and show the average wind speed as an overlay.
I managed to get this to work as desired in Chrome, but the text position is disabled in Firefox.

Left - Chrome (55.0.2883.95), right - Firefox (50.0.1).
This is the custom class Leaflet.Icon that I use:
window.RemoteWind = window.RemoteWind || {}; // This uses Chroma.js to build a color scale which is used for wind speed. // http://gka.imtqy.com/chroma.js RemoteWind.color_scale = chroma.scale([ 'lightblue', 'green', 'red', 'purple' ]) .mode('hsl') // the blending mode .domain([0, 7, 15, 25]); // the distinct steps for each. RemoteWind.VectorIcon = L.Icon.extend({ options: { height: 26, width: 26, stroke: 'white', strokeWidth: 2, circle: { cx: 13, cy: 13, r: 13 } }, _createSVG: function(){ var svg = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'svg'); svg.setAttributeNS(null, 'version', '1.1') svg.setAttribute("xmlns", "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"); svg.setAttribute("xmlns:xlink", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"); svg.setAttribute('height', this.options.height); svg.setAttribute('width', this.options.width); return svg; } }); /* * Vector based icon for a station */ RemoteWind.StationIcon = RemoteWind.VectorIcon.extend({ options: { className: 'leaflet-station-icon active', speed: 0, direction: 0, path: { d: "M26,19c0-2.2-0.6-4.4-1.6-6.2C22.2,8.8,13,0,13,0S3.8,8.7,1.6,12.8c-1,1.8-1.6,4-1.6,6.2c0,7.2,5.8,13,13,13 S26,26.2,26,19z" } }, createIcon: function (oldIcon) { var div = (oldIcon && oldIcon.tagName === 'DIV') ? oldIcon : document.createElement('div'), svg = this._createSVG(), g = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'g'), txt_g = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'g'), options = this.options, path, txt; g.setAttributeNS(null, "transform", "translate(0,-6)"); path = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'path'); path.setAttributeNS(null, 'd', "M26,19c0-2.2-0.6-4.4-1.6-6.2C22.2,8.8,13,0,13,0S3.8,8.7,1.6,12.8c-1,1.8-1.6,4-1.6,6.2c0,7.2,5.8,13,13,13 S26,26.2,26,19z"); path.setAttributeNS(null, 'stroke', this.options.stroke); path.setAttributeNS(null, 'stroke-width', this.options.strokeWidth); path.setAttributeNS(null, 'fill', RemoteWind.color_scale(options.speed).name() ); path.setAttributeNS(null, 'transform', 'rotate(% 13 19)'.replace('%', options.direction)); txt = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'text'); txt.innerHTML = Math.round(options.speed).toString(); txt.setAttributeNS(null, 'fill', 'white'); txt.setAttributeNS(null, 'x', this.options.height / 2); txt.setAttributeNS(null, 'y', this.options.width / 2); txt.setAttributeNS(null, 'text-anchor', 'middle'); txt.setAttributeNS(null, 'alignment-baseline', 'central'); g.appendChild(path); txt_g.appendChild(txt); svg.appendChild(g); svg.appendChild(txt_g); div.appendChild(svg); this._setIconStyles(div, 'icon'); return div; }, createShadow: function () { return null; } }); RemoteWind.stationIcon = function (options) { return new RemoteWind.StationIcon(options); };
I position the text by setting text-anchor="middle" and alignment-baseline="central" , as well as the x and y coordinates.
This is the HTML created in the DOM when adding a marker:
<div class="leaflet-marker-icon leaflet-station-icon active leaflet-zoom-animated leaflet-interactive" title="Γ
re strand | 2(3) m/s" tabindex="0" style="transform: translate3d(-367px, 85px, 0px); z-index: 85; outline: none;"> <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" height="26" width="26"> <g transform="translate(0,-6)"> <path d="M26,19c0-2.2-0.6-4.4-1.6-6.2C22.2,8.8,13,0,13,0S3.8,8.7,1.6,12.8c-1,1.8-1.6,4-1.6,6.2c0,7.2,5.8,13,13,13 S26,26.2,26,19z" stroke="white" stroke-width="2" fill="#64e0d2" transform="rotate(338 13 19)"></path> </g> <g> <text fill="white" x="13" y="13" text-anchor="middle" alignment-baseline="central">2</text> </g> </svg> </div>
Why is firefox not positioning the text correctly?
