One can also embed the font into the SVG. This makes the SVG larger, but it also ensures that the font goes with it, wherever it goes. One can choose to embed only the glyphs used, or the entire font, (or even an entire subset of the font, such as, Latin characters only.
Another issue may be kerning, where each SVG has precisely the same font, but the spacing is different. I have been having some issues with my font spacing, but I only have the one Linux machine. I have not found my problem yet, but I think I may have inadvertently removed a font from my system; error between keyboard and chair, in my case. That is when I thought, “I ought to have embeded the stupid font!” Sincerely, Karim Hosein Top Rock Photography 754.999.1652 On Tue, 13 Oct 2020 at 09:34, Willy Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 10/12/2020 at 19:53, Guillermo Rozas wrote: > > > The logo looks identical on all three >> machines when viewed in Inkscape, yet when it is exported into the >> appropriate location for user-generated watermarks in darktable on each >> of the three machines, the two lines of text below the script logo shift >> slightly in size and position when the watermark is applied to an >> identical test photo on each machine. > > > Are you exporting the logo on each separate machine?
