SVG rendering

**steve.ledger** · 03 September 2007, 12:49 AM

Thought I'd try saving a page out to SVG and uploading it to my site rather than a PDF.

While this works fine and allows visitors to view and print a relatively small (101k) file from within their browser, there are differences in each browsers handling of SVG, Opera being the worse of all but IE6 being the best (although no scroll bars).
You'll also notice how Opera and Firefox insert random spaces between some words.

I though it may be worth a comment for those more experienced in SVG usage?

Yes, I can confirm that Sledger. Have you also noticed the difference in the 'rounded rectangle' header?

Thanks Egg - yes I did notice the wrecked rectangle

Infact - Opera makes an even bigger mess of it, looking more like a Christmas Cracker than a rectangle - haha!

Also no smoothing in Opera

same result with FFox

use IE7 - gave options
open - in default app [ inkscape]
save - to disk

if I actually open it in IE7 I get the attached message
course I'm forgetting how IE works I use it so rarely these days...

not really bothered with IE7 much at all - its just there when all else fails

ok - I fired up Vista and checked IE7 and got the same result.
Does this look like an SVG export bug?

(I'm taking the MS factor into account here of course, but the mention of W3C does cast a little shadow?)
