I'm not sure what you mean with "squashed". Can you elaborate a bit [1]? Also, you have attached a screenshot of how it displays unexpectedly but not a screenshot of how you expected it to be. In the absence of the resulting SVG file, this triggers the "guys, guess what's happening!" mode. ;-) Nevertheless, my quick "guess" is that no particular "squashing" is happening: I can only see text overflowing other graphics content. If so, then you are simply suffering from a common issue with graphics in general which is text formatting/alignment. Note that if you don't specify font and font-size property, the implementation will use a fallback font family/font size which will then vary and may yield such unexpected results. As a quick fix attempt, set a default font behavior by setting the "font-family" (remember to include a generic font family [2]) and "font-size" attributes in the root "svg" element, as in: <svg [...] font-family="Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif" font-size="11"> [remaining graphics] </svg> > Any info appreciated.
