Text Cropped along Bottom Edge

[Text Cropped along Bottom Edge]

Sorted; not 100% but near enough for me. My method using Inkscape was; Path>Object to Path, Object>Ungroup, Align bottom edge (bottom line of text only), Object>Group. The main issue with this method is that the text can no longer be edited as text, well I couldn't find a way. If there is a letter such as a "g" that letter should not be selected. Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks very much for the replies, I had no idea that some fonts are designed like that, it's no wonder I can't change it and have been pulling my hair out trying to sort it. I'll have to have a better look at SB for text etc it's just that Inkscape has a lot of features that I need because the text is constantly changing to suit different sized signs and I have another box around the text box that needs to be centered each time I make a change not to mention circles in my template that I need to dodge. I look into it in more depth tomorrow. Cheers.

SBE also does not have the best display properties. There are many times that the text or graphic looks a bit rougher than it really is. You can use the redraw feature, but it only helps so much.

If you're only cutting text, I recommend typing it directly into SBE. Please keep in mind that it needs to be a .ttf font.

Thanks for your input. "ttf font", I'll make a note of that. Cheers.

Are the letters actually being cut off or is it just a display issue. I've seen SB do that occasionally when importing images. They don't look right until you zoom way in.

If they are being cropped have you tried converting the fonts to curves in Inkscape prior to saving the file. I'm assuming you're using the EPS file format? If not, try it and see if that helps.

You can also do a copy paste from Inkscape into SB, although when you do that the scale is usually wrong and you'll need to resize the image.

Yes they are being cut off and yes I am using eps file format. Iv'e tried a few things today including your suggestion but having no luck as yet but it looks like I've found the issue. See my reply to "slice&dice". Cheers.

Hi, first thing, uncheck the Weed All box. It's not part of this issue, but just thought I should mention it.

Secondly, what happens when you TYPE IN the text directly? Why are you doing work in Inkscape and then importing? Why not just do things right within SBE?

 

 

"Weed All" now unchecked. I'm going to stick with using Inkscape as I'm getting used to it and haven't had issues with other projects and don't really want to start learning another programme. SBE has been good and it looks like Iv'e found the issue with Inkscape (see screenshot), the "5" is lower than the "1" but haven't worked out how to rectify it as yet. Thanks again.

Hi, my first post! I'm currently using Inkscape to design with and SignBlazer 6 to cut. My text looks ok in Inksape but when imported into SignBlazer the bottom of the text is cropped (see photos). I'm only fairly new at this and can't find what I'm doing wrong; I'm sure it must be simple. I have tried two different fonts with the same results but I'm certain that's not the issue. Thanks in advance.
