Why is Firefox rendering my SVG so badly? - html

I just received an SVG file which I want to include into my HTML code.
Everything is working properly, except that Firefox somehow just renders the font int the SVG extremely bad.
Here's two screenshots:
Opera/Chrome -> perfectly fine
Firefox -> awful
I searched for about two hours now and didn't find any useful hints at all.
What could the reason be?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Here's the XML Code from the file.

How can I compress svg file?

I have a svg file with size 2.7 MB. It's too big because it's accessible on the website for a long time. So I need to compress it. I want to compress it to 200 kb. I looked for some tools online in Google, but I did not find a tool that can compress svg with a certain size
I try https://vecta.io/nano, https://www.svgminify.com/ etc. But that can't be
How can I solve this problem?
Update :
My svg file like this :

How to keep <image> xlink:href working after base64 encode

I am using SVG encoded as base64 to be displayed in my .html page.
I have been using basic shapes with fill, but now,
I am trying to use a SVG with a background image which is applied at the following line:
<image overflow="visible" width="650" height="882" xlink:href="<path>" transform="matrix(0.266 0 0 0.266 1.04 0)">
And below is the whole svg:

Problem:
Encoded base64 does not find the image that I used in the SVG.
Considerations
SVG as html works perfectly
Tried to use the image from the local server and from a hosting url
Tried to encode the path in the svg <image> to base64
I would accept any tip, and yet a solution that involves the use of svg without encoding it, however, I prefer to avoid it as far as possible.
Yet, That's how it is supposed to look like:
Thank you!
I do appreciate your time reading and thinking on this issue.
If SVG is used in an image context i.e. via an html <img> tag or as a CSS background image then it must be complete in a single file, otherwise you have a privacy leak.
If you change the image in the SVG into an internal data URL you'll find it works in Chrome and Firefox. If you imagine that the capabilities of SVG as an image are similar to raster images you won't go far wrong, after all raster images consist of a single file.
Once you've done that you can then turn the SVG file itself into the data URL just as you do now.

Difference between svg path and an image.svg

I would like to know more about svg and I have a question.
For exemple, I've export a shape with Illustrator as html code so I have this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 17.1.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) -->
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg version="1.1" id="Calque_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
viewBox="0 0 1920 600" enable-background="new 0 0 1920 600" xml:space="preserve">
<g>
<polygon fill="none" stroke="#B24539" points="0,297 0,379.3 26.9,346.1 "/>
</g>
And I want to know the difference between using svg with code like this and using an image.svg ?
Inline SVG would allow you to target parts of your SVG with CSS:
.svg {
fill: #fff;
}
This is not possible if the SVG was brought in with an <img> tag.
Here's a post from CSS Tricks that talks about the many different ways you can use SVGs: https://css-tricks.com/using-svg/
It would be best to use inline svg as #restlessbit points out, because you have more control over the style.
For example, changing background colors, adding path colors and even adding text to an SVG can be done when adding SVG inline.
Here is a post that illustrates some of these mentioned benefits to using inline SVG in case you wanted some more info: https://viget.com/extend/getting-started-with-inline-svg

SVG Scaling Issue in IE9

Having issues using small svg in IE9. It get's chopped off on the right/is not centered:
(Supposed to be a "X")
My SVG:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</svg>
I removed width and height and have viewbox and preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin none" though...
http://jsfiddle.net/dzCL2/12/
Your preserveAspectRatio value is invalid, and should be ignored by the browser:
preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin none"
The default value of xMidYMid meet will be used when rendering in this case.
Refer to the SVG 1.1 spec for the syntax details. It's possible that IE treats the value as partially valid, applying the xMinYMin part only, that would cause a left-aligned image. Using correct syntax should hopefully fix the problem.
The correct setting which worked for me in Safari to avoiding proportional scaling:
<svg ... preserveAspectRatio="none">
</svg>

Svg with image inside is not showing in safari

Inside my website, I am embeding a few svgs. They all seem to work just fine in Chrome, Firefox, IE(9+) and in Safari. Howvere as soon as there is image included in the svg, safari does not render the image.
Based on the previous similar topic I have tried the following:
SVG <image> elements not displaying in Safari - enclosing
<use>
tag like this <use></use>
SVG Image dosen't appear in Safari - I dont find this very usefull,cause this is deleting aprt of the svg.
Not able to render SVG image in Safari - Added
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml"> in header.
And beyond that, I dont really know what else to try. Maybe one more interesting thing to note is that inside my page, image is not displayed, but I can open svg file in safari(just the file) and it will be renderd correctly. Further more, after it's opened in the browser as a file, it renders inside the page as well. And I embed the svg to the page with img tag.
<img src="mysvg.svg" class="center-block"/>
This is my svg:

I have reduced base64 image string, to shorten the code. Full svg can be found here.
UPDATE: Just to be clear, svg shows in the browser(safari) but image is missing (I can see just border).
It looks like this WebKit bug is responsible for the problem: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99677
The workaround we use in our application is to have a script which finds all img elements displaying SVG images and add hidden object elements loading the same SVGs (<object style="position: fixed; width: 0; height: 0;" data="image.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>).
The reason it works is that the object tag properly loads the embedded images into the image cache, so that they are visible within the SVGs loaded using the img tags.
The advantage of this approach is that the images are still displayed using the img tag, so that the workaround can be applied (and later removed cleanly when the browsers are eventually patched) without affecting the rest of the application/website.
The disadvantage is the creation of an extra object tag for each SVG image.
This solution works for me when displaying an embedded SVG image in Safari.
replace
<img src="image.svg">
with
<object data="image.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>
I ran into this problem where I was using Ajax to load the svg spritesheet onto the page. If I had a on the page before the spritesheet was loaded, it would fail and would not resolve once the spritesheet was avaialble. Any added to the dom after the spritesheet was loaded were fine. I had to delay putting the items in the dom until after the spritesheet finished loading.
This only affected IOS. All other browsers didn't care about the order.
It seems that answer from this question works: What could make Safari skip clip-path AND mask with SVG?. See instructions in link from answer.
You have to recreate your clip path to make it visible. And </clippath> tag is not pushed after </image> tag.
Here is the little changed code (link to my image inserted so you will have to change it):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

So Anto Jurković pointed out, there are some known issues with Safari and clipPath. What Safari likes is if you dont define polygon but put it straight in to clippPath. Also you must then group clipPath separately.
But I still could not get svg to render the image if I used img tag for svg - <img src="svg"/>. So at the end I have embeded it like this:
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
width="328px" height="328px" viewBox="0 0 328 328" enable-background="new 0 0 328 328" xml:space="preserve">
<g>
<clipPath id="SVGID_2_">
<polygon id="SVGID_1_" points="1.414,164.001 164,326.586 326.586,164.001 164,1.414 "/>
</clipPath>
</g>
<image clip-path="url(#SVGID_2_)" overflow="visible" width="338" height="532" id="DSC_x5F_0112-2" xlink:href="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/.....r/fdeaS//9k=">
</image>
<g>

L164,1.415L1.414,164.002z"/>
</g>
</svg>
I can confirm that this renders correctly in mobile safari(on ipad and iphone, windows safari and mac safari - latest versions).
So to sum it up...I have this svgs in separate html file and render them when needed.
