Good night, I have a problem when opening a document that I created with inkscape in windows 7, when I open it in linux mint, this is unset and the texts and drawing are scaled alone and leave the drawing, re-open it in windows and everything as had created. What can I do, so I do not have to rectify the whole design and work on linux?

Thank you very much.

Hi.

Any chance it's a release related issue, and not an operating system related one?
There was a change in 0.92 upgrading from 90 to 96 dpi, which brought up even worse issues with multiline texts that a simple scaling could fix.

In windows I have version 0.91 r13725 and in linux version 0.91 r13725.

What do you think it could be, any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Welcome!

Could you share the SVG file with us?  We might need to examine some things, especially the text.

Are the Linux system and the Windows system on 2 different computers?

From what I can tell from your screenshots, it looks like the text is larger on the Linux system.  Although I would need to see the SVG file, to be sure.  Can you tell us whether it is the text which is larger, or the light green rectangle background object is smaller.  The green rectangle looks like it's the same size, but again, it's hard to be sure.

Look and see if the text is still text, or if it was converted to paths.  If it's text, what kind of text - regular text or flowed text?

If there are 2 different computers, look and make sure that the font that is used is installed on both computers.  If the Linux system doesn't have that font installed, then Inkscape is substituting a different font (maybe a bigger font).

That's my best guess, it's the font that's different.  But if it isn't we will keep looking for the problem.

Many thanks.

Indeed, although in linux it indicates the same type of source, it was not installed and it took to another defect different.

When you install it, and open the file now, everything is back to normal.

I give the post closed.

Thank you very much for everything, it has been a pleasure.
