Version: 0.1 (using KDE 3.5.9) Compiler: gcc 4.1.2 x86_64 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages On the following Wiki page, Konqueror shows the symbol for small letter sigma "σ" as expected. If you click on the SVG image, opening it in KSVG, sigma is replaced by a question mark "?".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Electron_orbitals.svg Whoops, forgot to include the website address. :) As a side note, I just tested it in Safari 3.1.2 and the sigma symbol appears as expected when the SVG file is opened.
Works For Me. I assume that you do not have the font installed. Try "emerge -av media-fonts/corefonts".

Try "emerge -av > media-fonts/corefonts". > I'm away for a week (at a Linux conference), but I'm 99% certain that I have corefonts installed on both my machines (both of which exhibit the problem). Also, why would there be a problem with only sigma (and not pi) if the font was missing? And, it renders fine using librsvg (in GIMP, for example).
Created attachment 30440 [details] Screenshot proving that it Works For Me. Here is the screenshot of Konqueror (embedding KSVG) proving that it Works For Me. Note that I have KDE 3.5.10, which is not marked stable by Gentoo yet. So I have a line like the following in /etc/portage/package.keywords for each KDE package: =kde-base/ksvg-3.5.10* ~x86
It's OK, I believe you if you say it works for you, I'm sure it works for many people, I just hope you believe me when I say that it does not work on either of my computers running KDE (3.5.10 now), one of which is ~x86, the other ~amd64. I can answer general questions but can't look at it in any detail until I get home around the 27th Jan.
This component has been replaced with the QtSvg based "svgpart" in KDE 4. If this issue still needs to be addressed, please add a comment.
