Re: [darktable-user] Question regarding .svg watermarks comparing Windows and Ubuntu Linux

No, Patrick. Not at all.

First,
There was a bug in darktable. I never did anything about it because I find
that the excellent darktable team is usually very quick to fix bugs without
my intervention, so I simply waited. (Usually when I go to make a bug
report, one has already been filed, examined, and closed, so I do not
actually have to do much of anything, except to either wait on the new
subversion to be published, or pull the updated source code and recompile.
Occasionally I make additional comments in the bug report for my particular
use case if it seems that the discussion seems to miss critical points,
e.g., someone suggests it is a bug limited to RH when I have the same issue
on Ubuntu, or a KDE issue when I have the issue in GNOME).

Second,
Having waited so long, and the bug is still there, and in light of Pascal
giving a workaround which does not work in all cases, (certainly not my
cases), I have decided to go ahead and make that bug report after all.

The first is a testament to how wonderful the darktable team has been in
the past. The second (and the first) is an admission that they are only
that wonderful because people like me make bug reports.

Your statements keep suggesting that I want someone else to file a bug
report on my behalf. Not at all the case. I was merely pointing out the
facts that
① The issue is neither that the SVG was created in Windows, nor missing
fonts.
② Converting the text to curves is not a workaround which everyone can use.
③ I have been aware of the bug for quite some time.
④ I did not make a bug report because I presumed the magnificent team would
have caught it.
⑤ It is high time that I make that bug report.

Not once did I suggest, or request, that anyone do something about it save
for myself. Points ①-③ is germane to the thread, and statements made
therein by others, including the OP. Points ③-⑤ goes to the fact that I
will get on this, by filing a formal bug report.
