Importing svg loses all text

[Karin]

I'm totally new to Affinity and super excited to see what I downloaded!  It really looks awesome.  I tried to search for existing issues and can't find any, hope I'm not duplicating or missing something obvious.  Please be kind while I learn...

Bug description and expected results:

When I attempt to open an SVG file created in Inkscape (without converting text to curves / paths) the images are all imported correctly, however all the text is missing.  I attempted to look at the help file and it shows a table of formats that can be imported and svg is displayed so I'm expecting that the import should:

- Either be successful with all my images and text boxes correctly imported and displayed.

- Or an appropriate error message is displayed telling me there was issues with the import (if any) and hopefully how to fix it.

- Help available to explain if there are any constraints / prerequisites / workflow that I must follow for a successful import.

Actual results:

- Only images are imported.  No text.

- No error message is displayed.

- Help gives no guidelines how to resolve the issue.

Attached are 3 files as supporting documents -

1. Expected result with a png version of the flyer as it should look like.

2. Actual result with a screendump of what I'm seeing.

3. The svg file I'm trying to upload.

I'm using a 64 bit Windows 10 machine.

looks like there is something wrong with the svg file, tested in designer and no text there either.

only inkscape shows text.

this is how it looks opend in edge.

Hi @Karin,

Welcome to the forums. 

Something is wrong with the SVG file as no other app can render the text. It's an issue with the file, not with our software. 

Thanks,

Gabe.
