[solved] SVG opening problem

Postby zaradek » Sat Jun 07, 2008 2:24 am

I use Inkscape Apr 1 2008 on Windows XP. I also use the program Geogebra, and I want to export my works to SVG and then edit them in Inkscape. But any exported SVG file I get can not be opened by Inkscape, it says "Failed to load the requested file". But on the other hand my Firefox displays them well. A simple example file can be found at http://zaradek.hu/SVG/2.svg.

Thanks, Máté

The problem is that this file isn't valid UTF-8, even though it (implicitly) claims to be. So this is a bug in Geogebra. As a quick fix, you can change the first line to correctly specify the character encoding being used:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>

Thank you. I've reported it to the developer of Geogebra.
