Kerning for character+space exported incorrectly to SVG


Recommended Posts

When kerning is applied to a character + space, the resulting SVG cannot be placed correctly back into Affinity. The bug is most evident with fonts like Arial and Helvetica which have kerning pairs for certain character+space combinations, but the problem can be duplicated with any font with manual kerning. The issue is related to the tspan tags in the SVG file.

Hi @MikeTO,

Thanks for reporting this.  I've replicated it and have logged it with the Dev team.  We do have a couple of issues relating to SVG export and tspan tags but i feel this could be slightly different, which is why i've logged it separately :)
