Re: [xep-support] stroke-dasharray

Hello Carlos,

This was caused by the zero sum of stroke-dasharray elements - SVG
user agent (XEP in this case) should treat this case specially as if
stroke-dasharray="none" was specified. We'll add appropriate check
into XEP code. Please note that actually specification of
stroke-dasharray cited in your message is invalid because array
elements should be separated by comma, not space. While XEP tolerate
such discrepancies you may want to warn authors of CGM to SVG
conversion utility about this little defect.

Thanks for your report.

Best regards,

CV> Hi,

CV> We encountered a problem in which the following piece of CSS styling
CV> inside a SVG graphics produces a bad PDF file:

CV> .str1
CV> {stroke:#282F34;stroke-width:0.241418;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-dasharray:0.000
CV> 0.000}

CV> Acrobat reader reports the following error:

CV> "Error while parsing a Form, Type 3 font, or Pattern"

CV> and the image is not displayed.

CV> Removing the stroke-dasharray property solves the problem. I don't know
CV> much about SVG but it seems stroke-dasharray value of 0.000 0.000
CV> doesn't make sense. The SVG was converted from CGM so maybe some things
CV> were "adjusted" during convertion leaving things like this with no
CV> effect. However, tools like Batik and Adobe SVG plugin have no problem
CV> with this SVG file.
CV> Only when proccessed by XEP we get this error. The problem occurs with
CV> XEP 3.84 and also the latest 4.5.
