Text not displayed correctly

Postby centuri0 » Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:40 am

Hi,

I come to you because I have a problem with some part of text that is not displayed correctly.

I'm using someone's work for it to fit my Linux distro. I had no problem to change colors, directly editing the svg source, but I'm experiencing issues when it comes to change the text.
I'll explain myself: the original text is in spanish (fine by me), but I want to have it also in english and french, but when I edit the svg file, some words (months, actually) are not displayed correctly.


Few images will explain better:

Here is the original work.

Here is what I get when colors and logo are modified. Nothing's wrong.

And here is the result of modifying the months. Words like "november", "december", and even the "Mo" for Monday are not displayed correctly. This does not come from the .png conversion. Inkscape shows it to me like that...


Can someone see where the problem is?
I'm not very familiar with svg so any help would be welcome.

Good day.
Centuri0.

PS: For people who still wonder, it's a 12-faces dice calendar...

In this case - not really ;). Access to both SVG versions (original, edited) would help to further investigate the issue.

Why not using Inkscape? Do you get the same incorrect rendering if you edit the text in Inkscape instead?

Hi
thanks for answering.

Well, editing the svg is faster I think: ctrl+r replaces colors all at once!
And yes, I had the same problem while editing the text using inkscape.

Anyway, I solved the problem using another source.
I think it might be a font and encoding issue. It was the only difference between the two files...

Good day
