When I try to insert a figure saved from JMP statistical software as an .svg into Office Products, the Y axis numbers become displaced if there is a decimal, comma or minus sign. I can export as a .PNG but I lose resolution. Is there a work around?

A work around would be convert text in curves...

Hi Prospero,

Do I understand it correctly that you question is not about Inkscape?

There are always compatibility problems between programs and svg files. You can try to export as a png with a higher resolution, more dpi/ppi. Usually 300 dpi is enough, but if not, you can go up to 400 or even 600 dpi. In Inkscape this setting shows up on the export as png menu. You can also change the default export settings for dpi in the preferences, so that you do not have to change the dpi every time.

Here is an example. I attempted to convert the Y axis labels to a path but that had no effect.

Word should support PDF as well hence you can export it as PDF to see if the fonts are properly recognized into Word. Also you should use a font that is available on your system and avoiding to use any specific svg properties.
