Text in SVG file not appearing
I tried to make an SVG version of File:Jade gisements.jpg, it works when the file is opened as a page but the text did not show up in Media Viewer, I tried converting the text into paths but that did not work either. How can I fix this? Svenurban (talk) 05:19, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * When I open https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jade_gisements.svg#/media/File:Jade_gisements.svg, the text shows up just fine (in Chrome, Firefox and Safari on macOS). --Lambiam 12:33, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry, that does not apply to the in-image country name labels 'Canada (n)', 'Guatemala (j)', 'Russie (j, n)', etc. But these do also not show up for me on the page File:Jade gisements.svg. Can you convert first to png and then to SVG? --Lambiam 12:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The original picture file is File:Jade gisements.jpg. Svenurban (talk) 13:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * When I look at it on Firefox on Windows, the text is white, and when it is on a white background does not show up. Even over the grey sea, it is very hard to read. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:56, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I suggest telling it to save as a "Plain SVG" instead of an "Inkscape SVG" file. Many of the tags and attributes in the file are clearly Inkscape-only. It is a possibiliity that one or more of them are causing errors on non-Inkscape image viewers. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 15:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
