Hello, I was planning on using some Foxkeh images from [url=http://www.foxkeh.com/downloads/parts/]here/url], but when I open them, Inkscape just shows the file's page size, not the actual content. In a terminal, it says:

I can get other SVG images to load, but not these ones. These ones are also able to be loaded in all the Image Viewers I have tried and Firefox. I noticed they were exported from Adobe Illustrator by the author, could that have something to do with it? How would I get around this? Thankis.

I looked at the first SVG file on that page. The problem is that the file contains a URL with non-ASCII characters in it. Inkscape considers that to be wrong (presumably it wants the non-ASCII characters to be URL-encoded).

It's easy enough to fix the file in a text editor: change the 'id' attribute on the 'symbol' element to id="head", and change the 'xlink:href' attribute on the 'use' element to xlink:href="#head". The other files on that page can probably be fixed the same way.

Thanks, that worked. Now to notify the author of these images of the bug in them.
