Maybe this should be a follow-up to bug 132180, but that one is marked as FIXED, so I'm reporting a new one.

On Windows 10 with 7.0.0 Alpha1, in the "About LibreOfficeDev" dialog, the text "The Document Foundation" at the bottom of the brand logo is truncated.  See attahced screenshot.  It seems my system is not using the correct font for the logo SVG?

It's not a follow-up since the whole image was stretched before. The issue affects only the text.

[1] <text style="..." style="-inkscape-font-specification:'Vegur, Normal';... font-family="Vegur">The Document Foundation</tspan></text>

Tomaz, any idea why this happens? The SVG image fits perfectly with Inkscape or GIMP. But maybe it requires Vegur to be installed.

Heiko: why not convert the text to path? I don't see a reason to keep it as <text> element. I mean, the only reason would be accessibility, but I think it is irrelevant in this case.

Sure, that's a workaround. I'd like to get confirmation first as this issue wasn't reported before.

Well, I guess the issue itself is interesting, but I would not call it a workaround to convert the text to path. To me it seems like the thing you absolutely need to be doing. Why would we serve the users an incorrect logo, if they don't have this exotic font installed?
