SVG issues

  • Illustrator (CS5 and CS6) cannot open SVG files with the style tag
text {
    font-family: sans-serif;
    /* or */
    font-family: serif;
}

Other fonts (e.g. Helvetica) work fine, and this is only an issue for a bare text tag.

  • Illustrator text is blurry when imported from SVG then saved as PDF. The trick is to turn off Isolate Blending in the Effects panel for each text element.
