SVG not loading properly?

Hello! I created a logo on illustrator and exported as an SVG. When importing onto my website, the logo's font looks completely different than what I exported. I'm assuming that the logo's font-family isn't being recognized? How do I go about fixing this? I'm currently loading the SVG using <img> tags, not <svg>

what happens if you use <svg> tags instead? i think i've run into something similar with inkscape when using text in an svg. it might not be converting the text to a path when you're exporting it. there is probably an "object to path" option in illustrator if that is the case

I just exported as code and still having the issue

if you select all your logo and press cmd shift o, it will make your design outline. and you're good to go.

Your text element has font-family: TheHometown, 'The Hometown'; declared in the SVG's style tag. If your webpage isn't loading that font you won't see the font. You either need to turn it into a stroke/outline/line as Milan suggested, export as a PNG, or link the correct font in your HTML.
