Hi all,
I'm using LyX 1.4.2 and would prefer NOT to upgrade right now unless someone
knows for a fact that upgrading will fix this problem.
I'm trying to make a document with lots of Inkscape SVG drawings. Because of
time considerations and all sorts of other stuff I'd prefer NOT to convert
them to other formats before importing into LyX.
When I import an Inkscape drawn .svg file into LyX (using the standard
Insert->Graphics and then browsing for the .svg), it imports reasonably well.
However, every text object is raised. Therefore the text overwrites various
graphics objects. This effect is observed in the LyX environment, in
pdflatex, regular pdf, dvi and postscript. In other words, it's not an
artifact, it's really there. Something went wrong when the svg was imported
into LyX. This does NOT happen when the Inscape is first converted to .pdf
and then imported as a .pdf, but doing that for a bunch of drawings is a real
PITA.
Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone know what's wrong with SVG import
and how to fix it?
Thanks
