Creating SVG with Text

I’m trying to programmatically create an SVG file with shapes and text.

When I import it into LightBurn, the text is huge and not where it should be. If I edit the SVG file and remove the text tag, the shape imports correctly.

In another post, there was a suggestion to convert the text to paths in Inkscape. I tried that and get similar results. The shape doesn’t impoact unless I remove the path from the SVG file.

What specification reference are you using for SVG?

Let me offer a different tact if your goal is primarily meant as input to LightBurn.

Try recreating the planned shapes and text in LightBurn and Inkscape. Save or export as SVG. Examine and follow that structure with your planned SVG output.

Not sure where is the tip or trick is in your post, but well…

When you import your generated SVG in Inkscape, does the text is OK with regard to size?
After the text has been converted to path, it should be a shape like the others, so it should keep its size when importing from LB.

Do you have a sample to share, so we can have a look at this SVG?
