I have some experience with other programs like PS and Gimp, therefore it seems easy to learn. But what i don't get at all, is why sometimes text is invisible or in the wrong color when i upload it for printing.
To give an example: I added a text, i chose, font style, size, fill color and border color. At last i made sure that visibility is on 100%. Then i clicked on the text and used "shift + control + c". I checked every single letter if all the options i chose before (like border and so on) are correct.
Everything seemed fine, but when i upload the image, the text has no border. And it's just simple stuff, white fill, black border.
You should convert all text to paths before uploading to places like spreadshirt. They won't have your fonts on file, and don't support SVG 1.2 or 2.0 text spans anyway.
Select your text and use the menu Path > Object to Path
Thank you, i did the objekt to path part, but since my version isn't in english and therfore i don't know the exact english terms, i just wrote "shift+control+c" in my initial post (iam also a huge fan of shortcuts).
When i get it right, you said they don't support SVG 1.2 or 2.0 text spans anyway, then maybe that is the problem?
Is there some kind of workaround or should i install an older version (if available) then?
I post here, so no need to start new topic about spreatshirt :). I made simple line circle, made it to path so it has 4 nodes, then i clicket combine to be sure everything is as requiret. Uploadet that simple 4 nodes circle svg to spreatshirt and wait that tecnical prosessing thing, when it was ready i downloadet that circle back to my pc, openet in inkscape and now it has like 1000 nodes. Why is that happening? what did i made wrong with inkscape?.
Not sure which application-to-fabric at Spreadshirt is running but that conversion looks like they run a stepwise process which can´t follow curves but segments building a curve. Are the segments straight or still curved when you zoom in?
I have no idea what you can get for the future from it. I guess the design is going to be plotted and the machine driver utilised maybe dxf files which don´t contain curves but lots of segments to build curves. I have no experience with that service provider - so I can´t help any further. I might help to get an example file from Spreadshirt to compare - but if the conversion works on their side I don´t see any issue right now.

Hi,
I have some experience with other programs like PS and Gimp, therefore it seems easy to learn. But what i don't get at all, is why sometimes text is invisible or in the wrong color when i upload it for printing.

Someone has an idea what iam doing wrong?
Where are you uploading the svg?
Spreadshirt

It's not a problem if you don't have any text objects any more. (because they're all paths now)
Can you share one of the files with a screenshot of what looks wrong in spreadshirt?
Thank you all, i finally managed to solve my problem. It was so easy, i must have been blind.
Right under "object to path" is an option that is celled "border to path", somehow i haven't seen it all the time.

When i zoom in the circle they are lines not curved
