Hi, Egg, it's been a very long time. Yes, I suspected the 72/96px ratio too, but that must be an internal Xara thing because Xara exports its SVG specifying pt (points) as the unit. It doesn't permit you a choice. But unlike pixels, it is a real-world unit that is accepted the world over as 1/72 of an inch so there is no real room for ambiguity. XD16/17 cannot import its own SVG exports correctly, and 25% is a huge error. The issue is a bit more complicated because having imported the SVG-1 back into Xara, you can then export that 2nd image as SVG-2, and re-importing SVG-2 does NOT increase its size. Only the first re-import increased in size.
Also, though I took no screen shots, I imported the Xara SVG-1 into three different apps, and they all showed the counter at the correct size, and they all could re-export/save as their own SVG, and correctly re-import those without issue. Even if they had their own issues, (I'm still working on SVGKam ) Xara has a clear problem. The 72/96px/" shouldn't be relevant unless Xara invokes an erroneous conversion somewhere, but I find that hard to believe, as Xara's own internal unit is the millipoint, 1/72000", which is why it is brilliant for engineering drawings. And because it always exports in pt and never px, other apps importing them never get confused about sizing, which has been an issue dogging the maker community because pixel-based SVGs routinely confuse many precisely because the px isn't a clearly-defined real-world unit of measurement, and really has no business being treated like an engineering unit. And it's not helped when apps that can export/import SVGs often don't allow the user to choose the export unit, and they default to px.
Also, Hi, ss-kalm, it's nice that there are so many familiar names still around. And I was sad when I found out that Soquili is no longer with us. I peek in now and again, but whole years can go by in between.
Cheers, all.
Mike
