Using Inkscape with Other Programs [SOLVED] text is invisible in exported SVG

    hi,

    I had this problem, and it was strange cause I hardly ever bump into problems with Inkscape :)

    I created a triangle and added 3 text layers... pretty basic.

    I saw the text, "1.", "2.", "3." in the exported SVG both in an image viewer and using Firefox to open it.

    But the text was invisible when I imported it into Libreoffice WRITER.

    I also tried exporting it via "save as optimized"....
    No success.

    - - -

    solution #1:

    I had to check the text object in terms of fill and stroke.

    When I had set fill: black, stroke: none, it worked.

    It also worked when I had set stroke: black (or any color) and fill: none.

    (the above line was a wrong statement, that's why I edited it)


    Also: when you can't import an exported SVG successfully into Writer, it is an indicator of a problem (conceptual inconsistency on your / my part, so to speak).

    (I had to share this cause I didn't find a solution but it was clear that others also had this problem, even if just once, at the early stage of their learning, like I did :))

    EDIT:

    solution #2:

    The OTHER solution is, thanks to Polygon, to copy-paste if from Inkscape to LO-Writer (just make sure that all visible layers are selected).

    Not in front of Inkscape right now to test - but have you tried to copy&paste from Inkscape into LO-Writer already?

    Hi,

    no, I haven't...

    But now I tried it and it works!!

    Whereas, when I have stroke only, it doesn't...

    So, yours is a secure, reliable solution!!

    Whereas, when I have stroke only, it doesn't...

    That´s might be a font has always just a fill attribute but no stroke. Just guessing here,
