Bad quality of PDF whend use data path d=""

Postby citizen » Thu May 13, 2010 12:10 am

Hello,
I know nothing about Inskape and SVG but I have a problem with svg pictures drawn with inskape. I generated pdf documents using xsl-fo and xsl-formatter processor. In my document using svg pictures, I see that when the SVG contains the attribute d="M..., L...", the fonts in all the page seem to be bold and the quality of the page is so bad. If I suppress the attribute in the svg my page is ok. I don't know why. I have only SVG pictures in my document and only the pages which contains this attribute with value" moveto" and "lineto" have bad quality.
If you need more explanation I can give others examples
Thanks you in advance for your help.

Can you attach one of the SVG files that cause issues with your conversion tool?

'd' is not just an attribute but the basic data of a path in SVG - indicating that the SVG files don't contain regular text objects but text converted to paths (outlines of the letters are stored as bezier curves).
