giannis196 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 So, i made an example vector text for webpages, the problem is when i select it i notice it haven't got spaces (it's hard to select by mouse so try Ctrl+A to see what i mean...open it with internet explorer, edge, mozila firefox or google chrome to see it in a browser and check it) It's a vector text that says "Text on curve - vector graphics for webpages" (curving like wave) from "Text on curve" i have put the spaces manually by opening the svg in the notepad++ while i haven't done anything to the rest text. you can see it does selects spaces from "Text on curve" but it doesn't select spaces from " - vector graphics for webpages" what should i do in order to export spaces too so, the user can copy-paste with the spaces on the text? Thanks! btw i'm on 1.6.5.135 version of affinity designer edit: i updated to the last version 1.7.1.404 and it still exports text spaces wrong. text on curve - vector graphics for webpages.svg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannis196 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 The test1 is how it shouldn't be exported, the spaces are missing in the code and when you press Ctrl+A you can see there are no spaces, you can also try to copy after Ctrl+A and then paste it somewhere and see what's wrong since it will be all the text spaceless and the test2 (i fix it by hand after finding 1-1 letter and putting the spaces in the notepad++) is how it should be exported, the spaces aren't missing in the code, when you press Ctrl+A you can see there are the spaces, you can also try to copy this one and then paste it somewhere and see there is nothing wrong with it since the spaces are just right there, it's not like the 1st one But i don't want to fix them by hand one by one, it should be right after exporting and no manual fix should needed... ...At least put an option that doesn't remove spaces or putting spaces as text, blank text, vector or just blank vector (or something like that's fully compatible with all browsers)Any help on how to export spaces without needing to fix them by hand by the way?? test1.svg test2.svg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It would help if you would also share your .afdesign file, so we can see what you're starting with not just what you're ending up with.

walt.farrell Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks. That's interesting. It appears that Designer exports the text as individual letters, and simply positions each where it needs to be. And as it's positioning them, it apparently doesn't think it needs to include the spaces; it simply adjusts the position of the following letter to make it look like there's a space. I don't know if that is correct handling or not. Someone who knows more about SVG may have some thoughts.

Correct handling or not i think affinity should allow us choose what to do with the spaces at the export (to include spaces or not include) with a tick box. Isn't it?

firstdefence Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Is there a reason you are using SVG? Have you tried using PDF instead?

Have you tried using PDF instead? i will be working with svg so this is the reason that i want this specific file format, i will need to put the vector to a webpage as html code and select a part of it. I can't do the same with pdf for example i may want to change the color of some letters slowly slowly as the user scroll, hover, press a button or anything else someone can do, so i need to put a transition select what i want to change the color, i may for example change "stroke:#006bff;stroke-width:0.81px" to "stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.1px" to make it smaller and black as the user do something. I can't do that with a pdf so, i need svg (i already will have enough code to think and type i can't everytime search and correct spaces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
