[Qgis-user] SVG files in QGIS print layout

[Newcomb, Doug]

Hi Folks,
I recently made up a poster using QGIS 3.10.2 and ran across a few issues with SVG files when using add image.

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.

2) Exporting a graph from R to an svg file  using:
svg(file="graph_filename.svg", width=7, height=7).
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.

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

Yes, I could use png files, but vector graphics look better 🙂

Doug
