Hello!

I know it's been quite some time since I wrote to this list, but I've been monitoring it and reading up on what's going on. I just used the latest autopackage nightly to get up to date with Inkscape-0.39 and I'm impressed, with both Inkscape and Autopackage!

Lately I've been quite busy making working on a project of mine called SVG-Utils, which is basically a collection of scripts to manipulate SVG files, and a Python library to manipulate and create SVG files on the fly. I've yet to make an official release, but we are in the bug testing phase as I type this. You can read more about the project on this site: http://programmer-art.org/?page=svg-utils

One interesting bug that has cropped up occurs when I use the library to output some text and tspan elements. As an example I have included the original file, the output of svggrayscale.py, Inkscape's saved version of the output, and a fixed version of Inkscape's output. It seems to be adding extra text XML elements (tabs, newlines, spaces) when loaded in Inkscape, so the text displays with an offset to the right. At first I thought it was a problem with SVG-Utils, but librsvg 2.7.2 renders the output from svggrayscale correctly, so now I'm not sure. I hope you could look into this issue and help me to understand why it is happening.

textest.svg is the original textest-bad.svg is the output from my svggrayscale.py script textest-bad2.svg is textest-bad.svg saved through inkscape textest-bad3.svg is textest-bad2.svg with the spacing fixed through Inkscape's XML editor
