Hi,

I created a logo a while back - The element in question is just text for which I used the text tool. I have gone back to the logo to add a web address for a particular print job, again with text tool- all seems OK but when I save as PNG and it opens in windows image viewer (which has a black background), the spaces in the letters that have them (such as 'a, o, p, d') are white and therefore aren't transparent.

if I then go back to Inkscape and the source file I can use the edit paths tool and click on the space which works fine - I go to the colour menu and drag the transparency bar to make it transparent and it changes to the font colour. So it's as if it drew the letter as a block and then laid over a white section to act as the gap/hole in the letter. for some reason, this hasn't affected the web address I recently added.


Shows non trans


Shows gap in letter set to trans

Cheers

The paths of the characters may be separate objects. You could try combining the paths.

Nice! That did the trick - feel free to go destroy something pretty now!
