Apparently, Inkscape doesn't like rendering text objects that follow a path. First image shows the same text object attached to the circle and then copied & removed from circular path - not attached to the circle. The second image shows the result after saving the file & opening it in a browser.
Anyone from Inkscape know what causes this issue???
Would be a huge help to get this issue resolved. Thanks.
He can´t because of the resulting file size which needs to be under 15KB - see the other threads about literally the same thing. That text may look different in the target application seems not of interest BTW.
Thanks for all the help, folks - I brought in the red CG emblem file & added the white fill & changed stroke colors where needed. The actual CG emblem has a white background (I'm a former Coastie 🙂). Resulting filesize is 40Kb. I'm guessing that somewhere along the way I realized that I couldn't convert the text objects to paths. Guess I'm stuck, but I do appreciate the help.
Text has colored stroke which might not be needed. But the font even though it is a regular Helvetica coming with macOS got an awful amount of nodes after conversion. Not my type of type design - so to speak.
I've used the site below to compress SVG graphics for my work's website. It always manages to shave a small amount off even the optimized SVGs from Inkscape. Possibly the resulting file may not be suitable for every use case, but it works fine for web graphics (in my experience). Might be worth a try to lose a kb or two?
I see Inkscape listed among the vector-based art programs on page 6-3. A ringing endorsement from Homeland Security. Maybe this could be added to the next about screen.

It is the browser not rendering the text on the path, Inkscape obviously renders it properly.
Best practice is to convert the arced text to paths on the final copy.

Filesze can be reduced after.
I know - but with converted text I doubt you can stay under 15KB.
Let´s see:
14kb
Red stripes are off center, btw.
Might not work with a different font, without tweaking.
Seems I was a bit anxious about to use too aggressive optimization.
12948 Byte:
A serif font may break the bank, but ya can't put 11lbs of stuff in a 10lb bag.

A white background is just 4 nodes: 13.130 Byte.

The official version of the emblem found here is quite different? If it can be of any help, I attached a 12KB version of it.
I deleted my "interpretation" of that sign as I'm not sure the use other than it's purpose is allowed.
