Summary0015784: imported SVG containing text not rendered properly
DescriptionTested on a few versions including 1.5.5 build ID C--T-F-C1.17.3-64bit (Arch linux).
SVG is generated by kicad; most simple graphical elements seem to render OK but text appears mangled. Looks like start / end points of each letter are connected ?
Steps To Reproduce- Create new document
- drag+drop attached sample.svg
- resize / zoom, text looks like attached screenshot (sample.png). Should look like regular letters "SN".

i can confirm the bug with a rather recent build... (outlining text does work... so that's not the issue...)

inkscape can (i guess) correctly render the file.

firefox shows nothing.

this is a common problem with filled open paths. i saw this with other software too (can't remember wich one…)
if you set the fill color to 'none', everything works as expected.

…an firefox shows the graphic but it's really small. (from the .xml tree: width="0.67564cm" height="0.45974cm")

mmm, indeed.
i expexted the S and N to be strokes, not a bath with a very thick line.

In my case, actual file had many different fills, so as a workaround I hand-modified the .svg file to replace the offending "fill:0008484" with "fill:#ffffff". Annoying, but workable...

Tested in Linux Mint 19.1; r23151

I can't reproduce anymore. Works well.

I would like to keep this open at least as an explanation of the issue (still present in 1.5.6.1) and possible workarounds.

Same sample, loaded in 1.5.6.1 . Canvas shows the text correctly but Print Preview (and actual print) mangles the text.

The fault only occurs in the PostScript Level x. If You choose PDF, the Print Preview works well.

The sample requires transparency support to render correctly. PostScript has no transparency support hence the result.
