Problem description:
SVG: Text Exported as individual letters and not as words
After creating a test flowchart document and exporting it as SVG, upon
inspection of the SVG file in text editor showed the word 'Hello' and 'World'
to be stored as 'H', 'e', etc. as individual entries (with the respective SVG
syntax).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch LibreOffice Draw
2. From the Flowcharts drop down list choose Alternative Process, the (second
from the top left, its prettier).
3. Draw two boxes (copy/paste the first one to make it easier)
4. Label/Type "Hello" in box 1 and "World" in box 2
5. Use connector tool to link box 1 and two (set Arrow style to Arrow Head, use
right hand side)
6. Export as SVG
7. Open in text editor and notice how Hello and World are now individually
spelt, H, e, l, l, o ....
8. Open SVG file in Inkscape and Export as PDF, then when the dialogue appears
enable "PDF+LaTeX: Omit text in PDF, and create LaTeX file
9. Examine generated .pdf_tex and similiar to 7.
10. Open SVG file, find text, replace individual letters as with something like
this:
>Hello</text>></g>
(repeat for W, o, r, l, d and save)
11. Open SVG in Inkscape once again and export as PDF (with "PDF+LaTeX"
enabled)
12. Examine updated/new .pdf_tex file and notice that it is corrected.
13. Open TexMaker (or another Latex Editor)
14. Generate or edit an existing Latex document by adding
\def\svgwidth{\textwidth}
\input{<filename.pdf_tex>}
15. Replace <filename.pdf_tex> with actual filename
16. Repeat for the other pdf_tex file to allow comparison
17. Build and observe. This will be made more clear if text size in Latex is
changed.
(Please do not respond - temporary email address used, expires with 1 hour of
first use)
Current behavior:
Separates words into their individual letters when not required.
Which once processed via Inkscape (pdf+Latex) and then inserted into Latex
document shows up to be not pleasing on the eye.
Thus requires manual intervention once the SVG file has been generated.
Expected behavior:
To capture entire lines/blocks of text in whole chunks when exporting to SVG.
(May also affect Windows Meta File or Enhanced Meta File export as well). May
also help when importing SVG files for editing text in LibreOffice Draw,
Inkscape or other editors.
Sorry for the additional steps but they are
Thank you,
