The SVG file in question (4.26 KB, image/svg+xml)

The SVG file in question

eog fails to render the curved text in the Sinterklaas poem I created using Inkscape. It contains text curved along a spiral path, which displays and prints correctly in Inkscape itself. Inkscape saved it as an SVG file, but in the thumbnail displayed by Nautilus the curved text is not displayed, and when I open the file in eog, the curved text is completely missing as well. I will attach the file in question.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug #644582 ?
Comment 2 Pepijn Schmitz 2011-03-13 13:41:51 UTC 
I guess it could be, I don't know enough about the internals of SVG and librsvg to be able to judge. I'm not sure though, they talk about a black rectangle appearing (at least in bug that that bug is a duplicate of), and that doesn't happen for me.
Comment 3 Felix Riemann 2011-03-16 19:10:17 UTC 
It seems that librsvg doesn't recognize the textPath element used in your file. Reassigning.
