I have an Inkscape file that I need to open in Illustrator but it won't work.

I tried to save the Inkscape file as .svg but when I open it up in Illustrator I get

"bitstream vera sans: a unknown error has occurred"

"the document "document.svg" uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format that originally specified."

  • This isnt really programming related, it is computer related so perhaps it should be moved to superuser Aug 27, 2009 at 0:59
  • This should be migrated to super user

You can download the font here.

Bitstream Vera Sans is a free font, you should be able to download a copy if you don't have it installed on your computer.

If installing the font does not produce identical results (often the case when switching between vector editors), you can convert text to path. Select your text in Inkscape and do

Path -> Object to path

or ctrlshiftc

Note that this means you can no longer edit the text; it behaves as a graphic.
