SVG export doesn't work (Version 0.9.6.3)

• Oct 10, 2010 - 08:31

I try to open the SVG in some programs (corel-draw, incscape, firefox, ie in XP), but the music-score-font does not display correctly .
* It seems that the font isn't recognized.
* All fonts are a factor of 10 too large.
* the whole SVG-picture is about twice larger than the document.

# the factors should be corrected (font-size, layout-size)
# the right font name should be taken (WinXP, Vista)
# better: the font should be converted in path. (except serife, sans-serive, monospace)
# the normal fonts should be replaced by "serife, sans-serive, monospace"

I'm still trying to create graphics for the Wikibooks / Wikipedia. Still I don't succeed.

Can it be that the document is using UTF8 instead of ISO 8859-1?
Only an idea, what it could be....

Download the following two fonts and move them to your fonts folder:
http://mscore.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mscore/trunk/mscore/mscore/fon…
http://mscore.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mscore/trunk/mscore/mscore/fon…

After you have installed the fonts SVG files from MuseScore should look fine on your computer. Before sharing the SVG files with others or uploading to Wikibooks/Wikipedia convert the font to paths. From the main menu in Inkscape choose Edit > Select All and then choose Path > Object to Path.

@David Bolton: Thanks for your friendly assistance!

There is still to do:
* All fonts are a factor of 10 too large.
* the whole SVG-picture is about twice larger than the document.

# the factors should be corrected (font-size, layout-size)
# the normal fonts should be replaced by "serif, sans-serif, monospace"

Ok, it is possible to open the svg in notepad++ and replace the font-size at once, but the correct size would be better.

a "nice to have" is still
# the right fonts should be installed automatically in the font-folder (WinXP, Vista)
# better: the font should be converted in path. (except serife, sans-serive, monospace)

Problem very embarassing !

All text are wrong size, ten time too big : titles, subtitles, words of the songs CTRL+T and CTRL-L,

Editing the svg is not a solution since there are many different sizes and all texts do not have to be changed since in the SVG, the notes are coded as text, and these seem to have the right size !!

So please tackle that feature !

Thank you very much for this efficient programm...

Pardon me for saying this, but it seems to me that it would be best if the conversion to paths were part of the export process itself. It does seem to be possible because it is already a prerequisite for rasterization. Rasterization, in turn, is a prerequisite for exporting PNG files, and MuseScore can do this just fine.

The current trunk version (r4986) exports font glyphs as path.

The font scaling problem has been fixed in R5300 (branch 1.2). See //musescore.org/en/node/14798 for details.

Thank you for the information.

I'm looking forward to when the improvements will be integrated into the normal download.

Is there already a release candidate? Right now I do not know where to look for the improved version.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that someone has taken care of this problem.
