I'm saving a vector graphic with text in Adobe Illustrator CC (File > Export > Export as ; format .svg ; Styling: Internal CSS ; Font: SVG ; Images: Embed ; Object IDs: Layer Names ; Decimal: 3 and both Minify & Responsive are checked.

On my iMac 27" 5K Retina Monteray (updated), the svg renders CORRECTLY in Chrome (see immediately below:

But in Safari (immediately below - bottom-right font is changed and letters are missing) and Firefox (2nd image below - text not italicized and "in job" words are pushed together) the text renders incorrectly.

Any thought on what is causing this, please? Thanks!

    Browsers don't always render SVGs exactly the same - some are fussier than others when it comes to SVG standards, which don't seem to be on Adobe's priority list TBH. It's hard to tell what the source of the problem might be without access to the SVG file.

  • we'd need to see the markup in order to be able to comment on differences in rendering. Please edit the question to include it.

  • Sure that's one solution, there may be others if we had more information.

  • The problem was that I failed to create outlines from the text before exporting. There's nothing else I can add.
