Bug Description
Using the Inkscape 0.45+devel, built Jan 25 2007 (beta 2 or 3?) version on
Windows XP:
I tried to make an SVG with (rotated) Hebrew letters, like this:
http://
When I made the svg and saved it, and then uploaded to Wikipedia
(http://
letters didn't show up. (I viewed it in both Firefox 2 and Internet
Explorer 7.)
Then I tried opening the svg file in Firefox, and the letters showed up but
were all mis-aligned. So I added Russian, Arabic, English, and Hebrew
letters. (Russian and English are left-to-right, Hebrew and Arabic are
right-to-left.) It didn't really matter if I rotated them or not, but the
left-to-right letters showed up properly while the right-to-left letters
were mis-aligned (basically, they were too far to the right). (I do not
know if the Arabic would, like the Hebrew, not show up if I uploaded this
new file to Wikipedia.)
So: Make sure that letters which go right-to-left save properly in Inkscape
so that when uploaded to the internet or viewed in other apps, it will work
properly.
Originator: YES

Everything looks normal in Inkscape, but not online.
