[O. L. Laditan]

When saving as a synfig animation text is not converted properly. Please view examples here

Just to make it more convenient for developers, I'll try and get the basic info posted and uploaded here.

This problem is happening in 0.92.3, and does not happen in 0.91. (User is using 0.91 as workaround.) Problem is seen in Windows 10. Synfig version was not mentioned. Also tested with SVG2SIF extension, and another extension called Prepare for Export (which I've never heard of). Both extensions displayed the same problem, when using with 0.92.3.

It happens whether text is text, or text is converted to paths. Please see attached: synfig inkscape text.jpg

It seems that only characters with closed spaces (A, B, D, P, R, etc.) are affected. For some reason though, O does not seem to be affected. Please see attached: closed letters.jpg.

Also in the attached zip file, is: closed letters only.svg

OH!! I just got a possible clue. I notice the name of the group in the SVG file is "flowRoot1234". I think that means that the original text was flowed text, right? I'll reply to the forum thread, and ask the user to try using regular text. We might be able to close this report, almost before it starts :-)

I'll report back when we hear from the user.

Thanks!

Hhmm....I'm unable to test since I don't have Synfig. Just to make sure someone has a look at it who can test, I will migrate.
