ScislaC: I can confirm the replacement in Firefox. Now that I have real entries, I've tested it completely and read up more on libxml2 mailing list. It looks like the parsing of SYSTEM/PUBLIC entity data caused them to drop the NOENT replacement option, giving us no option to disable SYSTEM/PUBLIC parsing or introducing custom entities before the parser croaks.
Thus, I'm convinced that a patch to libxml2 is the only solution without hacking inkscape to read in the xml first and search and replace entities from a set list for illustrator files. Which I would hate to have to do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/166371 Title: Illustrator CS SVG won't load: namespace URIs in entities Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Confirmed Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Opening an SVG exported from Illustrator CS on Windows XP crashes Inkscape on Windows XP with the message: <inkscape.exe:2296>: Warning **: SVGView: error loading document To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166371/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
