Anchors are not exported directly in the font: they are used as metadata
even within FontLab for various features like mark positioning, e.g. to
align diacritics with letters when producing them via combination.

As far as I know there's no support for features like mark positioning in
SVG fonts, so I would not expect anchors to be persisted in these files:
that's one of the reasons why the recommendation is to include this
information in the font's JSON metadata.
