Question

Problem with exporting SVG

Hi,

I never had any problems with this usinf icon fonts (mainly font awesome) in my work and exporting it to svg, but I think the last update messed this up a bit.

Basically, if I either export an icon as SVG, or download it from the live specs, the result will be a corrupt svg file, which crashes Photoshop or Illustrator if I want to open it with them.

Also, it doesn't show in the app when the developers are trying to use them.

I am using this file

https://xd.adobe.com/view/88d270e4-b66b-47da-852f-e393e1b690f5-dd81/screen/294a0135-3d80-4521-bd64-9563b71236b0/specs/

 

Please advise.

Thank you kindly,

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

We are sorry for the delay in response. We would like to know when you download the SVG using the download button in the design specs how does it shows. Is it converted to box or nothing?

 

  • Please share the XD and the OS version of your machine.
  • Does that happen with this specific file or all the files?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Thank for the explaination, Chris. Is it possible for you to share the XD file with me over a private message so that I can test at my end? If yes, please upload the file to a shared location and share the URL with me. It would be really helpful if you can share the video of your workflow for better understanding.

 

I will try my best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika


Hi Harshika,

I noticed that this happens only with Font Awesome icon fonts, so it might be a problem on their end? Would you still like me to send you a file for reference?

Thanks,

Chris
