How to copy these features from Adobe Illustrator
**First time Inkscape user**
I'm trying to create an SVG file for a 3rd party product. They provide instructions on how to properly create an SVG file for their app, but specify the following:
"Make sure the Font Subsetting is set to "None (Use System Fonts)", Encoding is set to "ISO 8859-1 (ASCII)" and CSS Property Location is set to "Style Attributes.""
I can't seem to find any comparable settings in Inkscape. How can I know if I'm "compatible"?
Also, they talk about a "layer palette": "...layers palette allows you to see all grouping levels on your map. This will allow you to make sure all objects are properly grouped before exporting. [...] all dynamic objects must be grouped with a text while all static objects must remain ungrouped."
I couldn't find similar functionality in Inkscape to view the layers (or at least I don't think so).

OK. Right there you have a big problem
ISO 8859-1 is not "ASCII". In fact, it contains twice as many characters as true "ASCII".
Users don't often have to worry about that subtlety, but when you have something with technical requirements like this, it can matter.
It could be that their app needs "ISO-8859-1" (aka Latin-1), but on the other hand it *might* need Cp-1252. That latter encoding is what is used on all western Windows boxes.
It also would be very bad if they don't accept UTF-8 encoded data. That's the general default for XML (which SVG is built with), and it is in fact required that Unicode be handed for something to claim to handle XML.

I guess that's what we use by default. We do not embed fonts into SVG.
Encoding is set to "ISO 8859-1 (ASCII)"
As Jon said, this is actually a contradictory statement. But if you have nothing except ASCII in your text objects in SVG, you should be able to just change UTF-8 to ISO 8859-1 in the XML declaration of the SVG file.
and CSS Property Location is set to "Style Attributes.""
Not entirely clear what they mean by this. But there's a chance we conform to this because we store style in style= attributes.
Also, they talk about a "layer palette": "...layers palette allows you to see all grouping levels on your map. This will allow you to make sure all objects are properly grouped before exporting. [...] all dynamic objects must be grouped with a text while all static objects must remain ungrouped."

Press Ctrl+Shift+L to open the Layers dialog.
