Implement text on a path

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. The SVG attached , Made  with inkscape does not render text ... at all
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is to see text wrapped around a circular filled path but
only circle is visible but no .... text around it ....

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version ..... 6 days back .... on linux ... ubuntu 

Please provide any additional information below.

The flash side of the plugin is not working for any text with path and the
normal text also does not render ... text very well ... at times it breaks
.... 

Best wishes to the project may be not usable at this time but sure is
promising for the future ..... i believe ... will solve all the problems
... for SVG usage in browsers .... would the developers try considering
looking into the codebase of Apache batik and may be try to .... port it to
SVG-web's flash plugin ... because out of experience  ... i see that it is
quite mature ... even SVG generated by hand, corel draw or Inkscape all
.... render beautifully .....and has lots of SVG 1.2 features

Thanks for the error report! Right now text on a path is not currently 
supported yet,
so this is a known issue. It would be great to support that at some point. I 
agree
that Batik is very mature. They've had a few years though ;)

Any guidance or ideas on where to start hacking this would help.  I also need 
this
feature and would like to help.

Bruce,

The idea would be to implement Path in actionscript code. See links below. 
However, 
from a performance point of view, this may not be a practical solution. And it 
would 
probably only work with SVG Fonts right now due to Issue 158 
(http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/issues/detail?id=158)
