When I open this file
http://daviddoria.com/Uploads/house.svg

in the same version of Inkscape in Windows:

and Linux:

the text is positioned differently (as you can see in the screenshots - the "d + epsilon" near the lines on the left of the house). Is there any way to make this behave identically across platforms?

Thanks,

David

You have used the generic font 'Sans' for the text: this is not specifying an exact font to be used, but asks the font backend of the local system for the default sans-serif font:
on unix/linux-based systems - depending on the local font configuration - the actually used font is usually 'Bitstream Vera Sans' or 'DejaVu Sans', whereas on Windows 'Sans' is rendered in 'Arial'.

Try using a specific font installed on both systems.

Yep, works like a charm, thanks!
