Re: svg output

[Gerard McConnell]

Thanks very much gents, it is a font problem.   I opened the svg file with a text editor and replaced Lilypond's Century Schoolbook L with Times New Roman for all text occurrences, which solved the problem.   I  guess in order to avoid having to do that I need to make Inkscape see the Century Schoolbook L font?   How come Lilypond can find the font but Inkscape cannot?

By the way, I presume I'm "top-posting".  I read somewhere that there's something wrong with doing that, but doesn't it allow whoever is following the thread to get the new material without having to go through the old material?  
Thanks again,
Gerard

A while back I also had an issue with LilyPond and SVG files but it was
resolved by simply a font fix.
See this thread:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/234562

Does that help at all?

Should be an easy fix,

Ben
