Description
Imported from dnfield/flutter_svg#959
Original report by @Huber1 on Jul 7, 2023
When i am using SvgPicture.file() for the following svg, it doesn't render the text in the correct location. Like you can see it is offset in y-direction
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" viewBox="0 0 1000 500" xml:space="preserve"><script xmlns=""/>
<rect fill="#C79514" width="1000" height="500"/>
<text text-anchor="middle" x="50%" y="50%" dy=".35em" font-family="Arial, sans-serif" font-weight="bold" font-size="425px" fill="#ffffff">21</text>
<style xmlns="" class="darkreader darkreader--fallback">html, body, body :not(iframe) {
background-color: #232425 !important;
border-color: #777067 !important;
color: #dddcd9 !important;
}</style></svg>
The Text is not, as expected centered vertically and horizontally, but only centered horizontally
Is it a coincidence that the bottom line of the text is centered?
The Image is not cropped. I put it inside a Center on a blank screen to make sure it is completely visible
