[Inkscape-user] Black box instead of text

[Klas Nordberg]

Hi,

I tested to produce a simple SVG image with Inkscape with some text and
then uploaded it to Wikipedia. However, in Wikipedia the text box is just
a black rectangle with no text.

Inkscape version is 0.45.1

The image can be viewed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Test1.svg

where also the SVG file can be found.

My question: where is the problem (ie black rectangle instead of text)?
In Inkscape? In Wikipedia? In my browser (IE 7)?

Thanks,

I didn't even know that I was using flowed text, but avoiding that seems to
help

Did you save as standard SVG rather than Inkscape's SVG?
