  1. POBad SVG text quality in Opera
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to render an SVG document containing some text. Everything is good in Chrome/FF/Safari:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xIP5R.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>But in Opera (v12.14, Mac OS X) font looks very ugly:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/PSlwU.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Is this normal or maybe I am doing something wrong? Is it possible to improve rendering quality? Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"&gt; &lt;svg width="400" height="200" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="30" font-family="Arial" font-size="12" font-weight="bold"&gt;123 xyz XYZ&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="50" font-family="Arial" font-size="12" font-weight="bold" fill="#666"&gt;123 xyz XYZ&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="70" font-family="Arial" font-size="12" font-weight="normal" fill="#444"&gt;123 xyz XYZ&lt;/text&gt; &lt;text x="10" y="88" font-family="Arial" font-size="10" font-weight="normal" fill="#444"&gt;123 xyz XYZ&lt;/text&gt; &lt;/svg&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried:</p> <ul> <li>embedding fonts using <code>@font-face</code>;</li> <li>using fonts other than Arial;</li> <li>setting <code>text-rendering="optimizeLegibility"</code>.</li> </ul> <p>None of this helps.</p> <h2>Edit</h2> <p>The solution is to use <code>text-rendering="geometricPrecision"</code> (see Erik Dahlström's answer):</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oy2ac.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>The result is still worse than in other browsers, but it seems that for now it is the best that one can get in Opera for Mac OS.</p> <p>I've also tried to translate the content by 0.5px in both directions. It slightly changes the output, but doesn't improve the quality in general.</p>
