svg fonts are a bit of a mess adn there are not many (scaling, offset
etc. and specs kind of fuzzy .. one needs for instance treat the visible
area in a special way .. there is no metadata wrt the glyph involved so
we need to experiment a bit (i don't want to end up with heuristics
based on guesswork)

anyway, them being svg they are actually images (there was time that
acrobat has svg on board but that was dropped) so what we end up is with
is a pdf stream but in such a way that they are actual characters

you can try this:

\definefontfeature[color:svg]    [ccmp=yes,dist=yes,svg=fixdepth]

and patch lpdf-emb with

                              -- local y     = - b[4] - b[2] - (d.depth
or 0)
                                 local y     = - (d.depth or 0)

and try some more (like emoji) ... no time now ... so you do the
checking and later i will look at the result
