Hi!
Firstly, I have to ungroup everything before I add to penpot, otherwise they all spawn to random places.
Secondly, I couldn’t find a way to get text from inkscape to penpot other than converting them to path and loosing text abilities.
Any help would be appreciated! For now, I can import them as paths, clone with text tool and align in place as a workaround.
Unfortunately, SVG texts are still not supported in Penpot imports. It is in our plans but not yet prioritized.
Not only that but when I try to recreate, sizes don’t match properly for imported fonts, I wonder if this is an issue over penpot font importer because default founts (fetched from google afaik) don’t have this issue. For example, this[1] is the old cantarell font available in google fonts and same settings apply, but when I import the new Cantarell (or any other font really) font myself, it’s really broken[2], same settings but different (visual) size etc. White and Red below are configured the same.
Edit: NVM this issue also happens with figma (or rather, anything else than GTK), something else must be the issue, thanks!
should one be able to modify imported SVG texts already? Or am I missing something?
Text in SVG is invisible · Issue #2146 · penpot/penpot · GitHub issue about imported SVG rendering is fixed - but can’t find info about editability
I guess the issue is still open, even when closed on GitHub. It is still declared as open in Taiga as you can see if you use the link @myfunnyandy posted above. I am watching this issue too, because I would like to be able to seamlessly import SVG’s with text into Penpot. I’m sure the busy folks at Penpot are doing what they can to fix this.
