Strange position offset for all text when importing SVG's
Strange position offset for all text when importing SVG's
I'm using D3js to make a figure and the text becomes offset when I import the svg into Inkscape. Anyone have an idea on why this is happening? Thanks!

D3js is a neat visualization javascript library to create svg figures from data.

Figured it out, apparently I'm getting the same bug as here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1036010 where Inkscape is treating "em" units from my svg file as the scientific "e" notation instead so all of the dy=".71em" attached to the text were being ignored.

Well good news then 
I actually had no idea.

Re: Strange position offset for all text when importing SVG'
Hi JJL, I am experiencing the same issue.
Since the bug seems fixed in the ticket, I tried to download the development version (adding the ubuntu repo), but the issue still remains for me.
It gets very ugly when multilinehandling from d3js was done through tspan tags with relative distances in em.
Were you able to see the result in some development version? Just to make sure I am not doing something wrong.
