Hi Helder,

Apologies with using the term 'squashed', I wasn't sure what term to use to describe it(lack of graphics knowledge!). But your fix worked and as you say it is a text/formatting
alignment issue.

Thanks again,
Chris.

I'm not sure what you mean with "squashed". Can you elaborate a bit

[1]? Also, you have attached a screenshot of how it displays

unexpectedly but not a screenshot of how you expected it to be. In the

absence of the resulting SVG file, this triggers the "guys, guess

what's happening!" mode. ;-)



Nevertheless, my quick "guess" is that no particular "squashing" is

happening: I can only see text overflowing other graphics content. If

so, then you are simply suffering from a common issue with graphics in

general which is text formatting/alignment. Note that if you don't

specify font and font-size property, the implementation will use a

fallback font family/font size which will then vary and may yield such

unexpected results. As a quick fix attempt, set a default font

behavior by setting the "font-family" (remember to include a generic

font family [2]) and "font-size" attributes in the root "svg" element,

as in:

Hope this helps,
