SVG file appears to be different font

[Harriet248032247zb1]

I need to save an AI file as an SVG file.  I've gone through the steps and saved; however, the font size and shape looks different when I open the SVG file.  I've done this for previous files with no problem. I've attached a PDF showing the difference (the top wording is the AI file, the bottom wording is how the SVG file appears).  Any assistance with this issue is appreciated!

It's probably a font that isn't marked for use outside the Adobe apps. You may need to convert the text to outlines.

I tried that and it worked. Thank you!

Don't ever get yourself into a situation where you have to open a previously saved SVG in Illustrator again to edit it. SVG is not a work file format.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYmoZw8TgWE

Ok thanks for the tip!
