Hi Folks,</div>

I recently made up a poster using QGIS 3.10.2 and ran across a few issues with SVG files when using add image.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

1) I use Inkscape 0.92.4 on windows to create customized North Arrows. When adding a large text N to the SVG file, it will not appear until I convert the text to a path using object to path.</div>

2) Exporting a graph from R to an svg file using:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
svg(file="graph_filename.svg", width=7, height=7).</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
When using add image to the print layout, none of the text associated with the graph is visible. Loading the svg file in Inkscape , the text shows up fine, but the convert text to a path method does not work on these files.</div>

Before I dive into this further, is this known behavior that is being worked on? Do folks have an easy fix?</div>

Yes, I could use png files, but vector graphics look better <span id="🙂">🙂</span></div>
