I am exporting SVG from illustrator and the text with special characters is falling apart with special characters. Is there a way to do this correctly?

This is what it should look like

Any Tips?

  • You are using a swash cap, which is an Open Type feature that svg likely won't support. Converting your type to oulines the way Wouter suggests, is your best option imho.

Expanding the text might solve your problem.

  1. Select the text
  2. Choose Object > Expand...
  3. Click Ok.

Did this solve your problem?
