Re: [Inkscape-user] problem with the text tool and the font size after importing a svg document

How come that the font size of letters becomes so unusual after I import the file curves.svg?

Because the file has viewbox="0 0 1 1" on the root element. That basically scales it down to 1x1 px size (very small). Remove the viewbox, Ctrl+A, and Ctrl+> several times to scale up.

How can I solve this? Is this a bug, or an error in the loaded file curves.svg.

No it's not a bug. Your drawing is indeed that small, thanks to the viewbox. So when you type 10px text it's 10 times larger than your drawing. The only small bug is that when you click with text tool, the initial cursor size is wrong (small, instead of being the size of the letters which will appear when you type).
