Weird letters after import

hello

I imported an svg file created with chatgpt, it worked fine but the numbers are detected as arial 17.7, when I create another number with LB to match the same dimension I have to create them as arial 1.78 so 10 times less. Both numbers could be increse decrease edited change font, but with always the same size problem? Does someone know from where this could come and how to solve?

There are two layers in your file, C00 & C12, but there are no objects in the work area. The layers are empty. Is this what you intended?

They are there, in upper right side, might look like specks on your screen.

These show up to me as arial, have no idea what the number is except possible font size.

Maybe upload your original file.

Although they report different heights, the Measure Tool shows them as being basically the same size. This appears to have something to do with how the fonts are created, and what font details are reported with the font. Lightburn only knows what it is told.

I expect the file is an SVG in name only, with its contents consisting of weird concatenations of SVG commands, rather than as simple text.

Upload the SVG file so folks can take a look at it.

thanks all for your comments. In the file I uploaded with my question the numbers are at the bottom left (very small of course 1.7).

Here is the svg file I used.

rapporteur_12cm

rapporteur_12cm

The drawing size and viewBox apply mixed units:

width="12cm" height="6.0cm" viewBox="0 0 1200 600"

The viewBox values have default 1/96 inch units, so 1200 zooms the image to be 12.5 inch wide.

All the coordinates within the file are in default 1/96 inch units.

The text is created in two sizes, neither of which match the font sizes you’re seeing, due to the viewBox scaling (edited to get rid of SVG delimiters):

text …snip… font-size="9" …snip… 5
text …snip… font-size="12" …snip… 10

You can open the SVG in Inkscape and save it to reset some things, but the viewPort remains in effect.

IMO, you’d be better off building the thing in, say, Inkscape, rather than having ChatGPT stitch Frankenfiles from random Web text.

They call it Artificial Intelligence for a good reason.

I’m not sure that I understood everything :rofl: but thanks for the answer, and I agree with your conclusion. In fact I have done it just to see the result, not as a real process.

Heck, I’m not sure I understand some of that stuff, but I do know it’s easier to fix my own mistakes … :grin:
