SVG & DXF Import - Text offset

I have an issue when importing SVG and DXF with textual content.
The text is offset in some kind of way. All other positions and dimensions seem to be correct.

I had this issue with several files. The easiest way to reproduce this would be to use the BurnTest from Boxes.py:

And then import the svg in Lightburn:

In the past I edited the files manually, but there is probably an easier way to solve this altogether.
Maybe a font / alignment setting in Lightburn I missed?

At least specific to boxes.py the primary difference seems to be in the text Y alignment. Select each text box and change to “Middle” for Align Y property.

Alternatively, download the .lbrn2 file type from boxes.py.

Not sure what you’re seeing in other SVG examples. If precise location of text shapes is critical I’d suggest converting to path prior prior to export from source application.
