Reviewers: trueroad,

Description:
Doc: Usage - Update svg & svg-woff backend text

Issue 4650

Update explanation so as to
inform the user that they will
need to make sure that the font/
WOFF font file information for
anything other than LP Music glyphs
are not included and need to be
'made available' to the SVG viewer
separately.
