Ofnuts, Thank yoo very much for trying this out.
>>I can reproduce the problem with Inkscape 0.91 and Gimp 2.8.18.<<
Very interesting that you can have the same happen in 0.91 - I tried so many things this week-end also opening older files made in Inkscape 0.48.5 and all but the ones created in Inkscape 0.92 opened correctly.
>>So the problem isn't in Gimp but in the Cairo/Rsvg libraries. Maybe you can upgrade them (or at least check is the bug is known) <<
I've just checked the Cairo lib on my Windows PC but to be honest I am rather at a loss there - no way of seeing what version they are. I guess that for now I will have to do a work around and hope when a new version of Gimp comes along it will have newer Cairo libs.
I had hoped I had overlooked a setting in Gimp
Thanks again for your time
Hi Rich,
Thank you very much for looking at this. Sorry I didn't explain the problem properly. As Ofnuts says it is white space in the font name not the text string.
Looks like it is a problem I will have to live with for now. Thanks too for posting where I can hold of Inkscape 0.92 for Ubuntu. I prefer to have the same version on both the Windows and the Linux machines
Thanks again
