Hi!

I don't know if it's a bug or a misconfiguration, but that's what happened...

I created an .svg file in inkscape for use as an image in a website, with the <img> tag.
Opening the svg image in firefox resulted in an error. The error pointed to an accented character.
When I tried to open the file with Inkscape, another error was shown and the image could not be opened.
So I opened the .svg file with Notepad++ and I realized that the file was using the ANSI charset.
Converting the file to UTF-8 without BOM solved the issue.

So, this is a problem with Inkscape or am I missing some config option to save new files with UTF-8 charset?

The file I mention follows attached. Try opening it with Firefox and Inkscape and you'll see the error.

BTW, I'm using Inkscape in Windows 7.

Thanks!

Hi Rodrigo,

I was able to replicate the problem with that file. Was that the only problem file, or do all Inkscape files you make have the problem?

I was able to open/edit the file substituting the header:

After I opened that modified file in Inkscape, I saved it in Inkscape (Inkscape replaced the iso with the UTF8 header) and it seems fine.


Also, I used the accented text in another file without issue.


So no solution from me, but looking for clues....
