Hi Julio, I think the problem is to do with the text, did you convert it to a path object before you viewed it in IE? I think that you have to do this in order to get it to display in Adobe Viewer plugin. I think this problem also occurs in KDE's Konqueror browser.
On that subject, I want to make a feature request. A way to convert a path (that was originally text) back to text.
The logistics of it would be that when you make the conversion to path, the text data is saved in the svg document, as well as all the transformations to the path after it's converted. Then, with the path-to-text feature, you encode the path back into text, including the transformations (colour, size) and are then able to edit in the text editor.
Hi Paul,
Thanks, this is a good idea. I believe this has already been suggested as a feature request, but for future reference note that the official place for requests for feature enhancements (RFE) is via the website RFE tracker.
Your suggested approach matches up with ideas I've heard in the past for implementing this capability, so that's really good. You may want to think about what other information should be captured, such as the font face and size, etc.
If this is something you're passionate about, and if you understand C coding, I suspect this may not be too difficult of a feature to implement. If you'd like to give it a shot, I'd definitely encourage you to try. It'd be a very cool feature for the next release.
