QSvgRenderer incorrectly renders "Inkscape" SVG files

[Code_ReaQtor]

Greetings!

I have an app which loads SVG files using QGraphicsView/Scene + QGraphicsSvgItem + QSvgRenderer. My app seems working with basic SVG files but when I load an "Inkscape" SVG file (with multiple items/shapes within it), it incorrectly renders them (there are black regions which are supposedly be "texts" and shapes/etc are not found in the right place). I am using Inkscape to create SVG files. I tried to use IE to check if the files are corrupted but it renders them correctly. I also used the SVG files in the "Inkscape tutorial" with NO success.

Is this a bug in the QSvgRenderer? are there any other alternatives?

Thanks and more powers!

Are you converting these to an image

this is not related but it might help a little bit

QtSvg module uses SVGtiny specification only, it does not support full SVG standard, and is known to have numerous bugs.

Current recommendation is to use QtWebKit for rendering non-trival SVG files.

Thanks sierdzio. That could be the problem with QSvgRenderer.

Are there any alternatives? third party maybe? or any links on how i can modify QSvgRenderer (I learned that the devs deprecated the library)?

QtWebKit. There sure are other renderers, but I don't know them. Check inkscape, it probably uses some GTK stuff.
