Question

SVG export

Hi 

 

is it possible to change the font with Save or Save As to change the Font

Now the result is 

  • .st0{font-family:'ArialMT';}

A better solution is

  • .st0{font-family:'ArialMT',’Arial’;}

 

Then all ArialMT problems are solved.

    It is possible with a script. The script would first export the svg then read it as a text file, do the desired edits, then save. Assuming that the desired edits were predictable enough to automate. Think of it as a find/change in the contents of the svg. 

    Do you do any scripting?

    Hi Mark,

     

    Yes i do a lot with scripting but it is not possible to run that script automatticly after a save

    So now some collegues are forgotten that (also created an exe script to change ArialMT to Arial) that works if you run that script. So the best way is to solve this in Illustrator than it's always OK

    You can script the svg export *and* the editing required in a single script—just run the script from Illustrator and you will end up with an svg file with your desired alterations. I don't have time to write the script right now, but if you've done any ExtendScript scripting, you can have a go.

    You cannot edit SVG code in Illustrator like you can in Inkscape. You could make a feature request here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com
