[Bug]: Exported SVG files are no longer imported Affinity Designer correctly #20910

Thank you for bisecting this back to the exact commit!
This suggests that there is a bug in Affinity Designer, have you reported this to them? We have historically held that we will not work around bugs in down-stream renderers (rsvg eventually did fix their clipping box bug). This does look consistent with all of the along-the-text-direciton offsets being off by 1/64. I think the question we need answered is if the svg files we are producing are complaint with the SVG spec or not. If we are, I think this has to be handled on the affinity side, if we are not then it is a bug on our side. |

Thanks for looking at this - having done a bit more investigation it seems that the problem is that AD doesn't parse the text direction offsets in the As this seems to be a bug in AD, I'll report it to them and see what happens! |

@tobywise Do you have an xref to the issue with AD? |

Here's my report on their bug reporting forum https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/148539-bug-in-svg-imports/&tab=comments#comment-830429 |
