Formatted Labels and Text not exported in SVG

[bettergraphParticipant]

Hi, I do not know wheather it’s a technical limitation or not: When I export my files, formatted (bold or italic) labels and text are not exported in SVG files. When I open the file in another app, I do not see the labels or text. Labels and text without formatting works.

By the way: what is the best exporting format for Powerpoint for Windows? Powerpoint doesn’t support PDF.

First, in terms of other image formats, a ‘png’ file with a high resolution should work.  Here is an article with more information on formats that might help:

In terms of the missing labels, we tested a couple of things on our end and can’t replicate the problem, but  wonder if there could be an issue with a missing bold font.

The common fonts should all have a bold or italic version, native to the font, but not all fonts have a bold version.

In the font selector, you can check the available typeface for any font.  Helvetica for example, has a number of different typeface options.

while other fonts only have a regular typeface.

For the common fonts, you can change fonts to Bold in the Style settings.

For fonts that don’t have a bold typeface, you can still select bold, but the system replaces that with the regular typeface.

If you try a common font like Helvetica, do you still have the missing labels?

Are the labels missing in the finder (hit space bar to preview) or only when you bring into another program?

Okay, I figured something out.

It makes a difference on the formatting in Datagraph. {\bf Lösungsraum} does not work in exported SVG,…

but (at the bottom) Overwrite: Bold does work as expected:

I always thought, the two ways of formatting had the same effect.

Can anyone bring some light into this issue, what is the intended usage of either way?

Thanks so far!

I forgot to mention, the font is Helvetica, and all faces are available.
