IE9 Issue exporting legend and axis labels

[Rob1080]

Hi,

When downloading a chat in IE9, I get an issue where the legend and axis labels aren't rendered correctly. The text is very small and can't be read).

When I switch back to http://export.highcharts.com then I can download the exported images with the axis labels and legends rendered correctly.

I assume this issue may be related to issues with the 3rd party SVG dll, can you confirm that this is the problem?

Thanks
Rob

Yes, I can confirm that all rendering errors are related to SVG.dll. The only thing this project does is wire things together. It's too bad there is no activity on the SVG project.

UPDATE: There appears to be a fork of the SVG.dll project in active development here: https://github.com/vvvv/SVG --- let us know if you try it!

I updated to use the new svg.dll. Unfortunately I still have the same problem when downloading the chart from Internet Explorer, where the label text renders tiny (barely visible) Any idea if there are workarounds?

I am experiencing the same issue in IE browser, the x-axis labels are unreadable and don't respect rotation.

Curious if anyone has a workaround?

@josephvano, try the latest svg library from here: https://github.com/vvvv/SVG. I made some changes to the svg library to support fonts correctly, and those changes have been merged.
You'll need to change Highcharts-export-module-asp.net to support the new svg library.

@Rob1080 I just gave this a whirl this morning and it worked! The fonts were displaying, just in a different font family (times new roman). Not sure how it could respect what the original chart is showing.

Thanks for submitting a fix for this. For others, I just had to modify the Exporter.cs slightly with the new SVG library

170: svgDoc = SvgDocument.Open(streamSvg);

What font were you using? Looking at the fix I submitted, it took font family into account svg-net/SVG@68425a1
