Hi folks,
I've done some manual kerning in an Inkscape SVG document. When I view that
document in Firefox or import it in Gimp, the kerning appears to be ignored.
Is this a known issue? Sorry, I couldn't find anything on this.
Not sure in any case if this would be a bug in Inkscape or in the rendering
application. Bitmap exports from Inkscape are fine.
Thanks much,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I'm happy that Inkscape finally came out to be working fine.
When you open SVG in firefox, then it open SVG with 1.0 specification.
Inkscape puts extra datas in SVG, that's why there is separate option to
save your graphic -> Inkscape SVG or plain SVG.
If you wanna see how your graphic looks like in a browser or anywhere
else, then save it in plain SVG (but make backup of course) and then
reload it into Inkscape. Then you'll see what's missing.
So anyway if you wanna have a format that appears everywhere the same, i
suggest you to use PNG.

Hi Andras,
I had tried that and it didn't work. I tried it again in 0.45.1 and still no
luck.
A suggestion in a Gimp forum had me convert text to paths and that worked
fine.
I do use png for graphics I export for use on the web.
Thanks again,
Steve

No. This is a misconception. Please do not spread it.
Inkscape does NOT add anything to SVG that would change how the
document is rendered (with a single exception, which hopefully will be
fixed soon). Anything that Inkscape adds to SVG when writing the
Inkscape SVG format only affects how objects behave when edited, not
how they look. That's the whole point of Inkscape. Therefore, when you
save as plain SVG, you just get a smaller file and lose some of its
editability in Inkscape, but it will be rendered exactly the same as
Inkscape SVG by all compliant renderers.

Inkscape uses standard SVG features for kerning. So it's a bug in the
other SVG renderers, not in Inkscape.

Thanks for the comment. I've found that the best way to avoid this problem
is to convert fonts to outlines. If I don't, both Gimp and Firefox mess up
the kerning. So, I keep two copies of the files: One I can edit and one I
can't. Until these other applications are fixed that's what I'll do.
Cheers,
Steve

This is a common approach for printing as well, since it removes any
font dependencies from the file you're sending to the printer.
