SVG images distorting on export to Basic HTML

I am working in FrameMaker 2022, version 17.0.3.546. We export our files from FrameMaker to BasicHTML using the Publish option. Any images that we have added drawn arrows to are distorting when the program outputs them to SVG (see examples below).

1) How can I stop this from happening? It primarily appears to be an issue with curved arrows, but it's possible straight arrows and other shapes are still distorting, just not as obviously.

OR 2) Is there a way to change the Publish settings so these images are NOT converted to SVG?

I need to understand this properly... when I look at the images you have posted, it seems to me that it is the arrows that is the problem? Top image looks right, bottom image has problem with distorted arrows. Is that right? The other graphics in the bottom image looks unchanged?

Yes, that's correct. Just the arrows that were added directly in FrameMaker, and only when FrameMaker converts the image to SVG when publishing to HTML (it's fine in PDF and Microsoft HTML Help formats, for example).

Are you finding what Bob reports - it all coming out in a single SVG file?

What format are the images in? Are the arrows and text all part of the image or are they added separately? Are the images coming into FM as references or copied into it?

They are usually .png or .jpg. None of our images are .svg originally. All the arrows and text are add separately using the tools in FrameMaker. Images are copied in.

You might get better results if the images were "complete" before bringing them into FM - do all your edits in an external program and then import them by reference into the anchored frame in FM.
