Hello,

I use multiline text with Times New Roman but get only black rectangle, by import the SVG in Open/Libre Office.
BUT Single-line text is working!


Validating the SVG with http://tools.wmflabs.org/svgcheck/index.php says:

and I get the same black rectangle, but again only by multiline text, single-line text is ok.
Is this still this Windows issue? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13232

By "multiline text" I'm thinking you mean flowed text, which doesn't play well with others. For any use outside of Inkscape, it should not be used. Instead, you should use regular text. (Flowed text is created when you click and drag out a box with the Text tool, and then type inside of it. For regular text, just click once and start typing. You can use the Return key....oh, I guess it's not called that anymore (my age must be showing!). You can use Enter key to start a new line of text, without creating a new text object.) You can change existing flowed to text to regular using Text menu > Convert to Text.

If flowed text isn't the issue (while selected, check status bar to find out), we may need more info to sort out the problem. Or just the SVG file would be best.

That Windows issue has long been fixed, and the topic needs to be removed from the "sticky" area.

Yes I used "Justy flowed text". But does that mean justification formatting cant be used?
Example (attached SVG file below)


svgcheck at wmflabs.org says now "*ERROR* Flow element found":

Thanks

After you flow and justify, you can convert to standard text for compatibility outside of Inkscape.

Ok, the text appears after that in Libre Office, but it loses the justification. Do I have to take care about something else?

If no further text editing is required, you can simply convert text to paths: Menu: Path> Object to paths.

To retain text editing, duplicate and hide a copy of the text objects before conversion to paths, or save a copy of the entire document before conversion.
