sorry if this is a dupe, struggling with search.

<text> displays when embedded as no longer native but asv3

Attachment: testcase

This is WORKSFORME. If this is not the problem you are referring too, could you
please provide a clear testcase showing the problem?

Comment 3

[Anne (:annevk)]

Ah, or is this Mac specific? Since it works perfectly fine on Windows.

Jonathan, are you using a libart build by chance? AFAIK these builds don't
support neither <text> nor <foreignObject>. Do you have access to a cairo build?
(check out http://artooro.spymac.net/firefox/ if you don't)
BTW, the standard SVG backend on Windows is GDI+, which supports both <text> and
<foreignObject>.

I see this on both Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8b)
Gecko/20050409 libart and Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.8)
Gecko/20050531 Galeon/1.3.21 cairo. I'm currently building 1.8 with cairo to test.

I'm also seeing this with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8b)
Gecko/20050603. Another curiosity is that text isn't aligned the way I specified
it in my SVG program (Inkscape). Every other program I have (xsvg, GIMP, someone
else's Opera) displays the images just fine. In light of the aforementioned, I'm
moving this to NEW.

WORKSFORME.

[Christopher Nehren]

Which OS, T Rowley? It seems that Windows builds don't have a problem with this
because they use GDI+ for their SVG rendering (or so I've read on another bug).
If FreeBSD, I'd be very interested in seeing your installed packages and
about:buildconfig.

WORKSFORME on FreeBSD 5.4-Release/5.3-Release (with libIDL and gtk2 installed)
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0+

this is my ~/.mozconfig:
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-browser

ac_add_options --enable-svg

Attachment: Another testcase; the text should be centered and horizontally aligned.

I'm seeing a lot of WORKFORMEs, and upon checking the first testcase and the
link, they WORKFORME too (except the last one, hmm). This image, however,
doesn't work. It should look like http://www.coitusmentis.info/pigritia1.png .

[Christopher Nehren]

Seems I've been confusing a couple of other bugs with this one (291785 and
293582; I swear I couldn't find them when I did a search). Sorry for the spam,
everyone.
