Question

Keep text as text in svg doesn't work

Hi, I have a problem when I want to save an .ai to .svg. I need to keep the text, but it doesn't work. I choose Text as svg, but when I open the file again, the texts are all paths...

I save with "save as". When I choose "exort as" I have the text that I can change, BUT the soft corners (effects) are away... 😕😕 

I have already tried to import the settings of another person where it works well, but the I had an error... (the data includes no correct illustrator data or so... was in german). 
What can I try to do? Do you have any idea?

Please tell us what's in your file. The text has effects applied?

Unless those are SVG effects, the effects will cause expanding of the text.

 

Please show screenshots and the Appearance panel with selected object.

There is no effect on the text. It is just text. 

 

The image shows the effect that I loose when I choose "export as" > svg. On the top is the normal look, on the bottom the look without effect after saving.
