Hello! I'm making graphics with Finale 2014.5 (win7) for theory quizzes to be run in an LMS. My administrator is requiring we use svg files. The svg files don't display correctly unless the music fonts are installed. The export pages feature in Finale has no option to convert the glyphs to images. I can fix the svg files with a program like Inkscape, but this in time consuming. Since I have thousands of files to convert, is there a batch process I can use?

I can get access to a newer version of Finale. Will that solve my problem?

In F26, you can use the Graphics tool to export as an image. SVG is among the options. However, it does not show in the user manual for 2014. Why not download the demo, and see if it works for you?

I also tried Finale 25.5 and got the same results. Finale doesn't convert the fonts to paths, and it's right that it doesn't. I'm now looking for a way to do a batch conversion on the exported files. I will write back if I figure it out.

Are there WOFF versions of Aruvarb or Fravura?

I wrote a script to run in Inkscape's command line. It converts the texts to paths and outputs to plain SVGs. If anyone runs into this issue, the code is below. Just put it in a batch file in the directory with your SVGs.

 

@Echo off

set "inkscapePath=C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe"

echo This script converts texts to paths in all files in this folder and outputs them to plain svg.

md output

set /a count=0

:: Running through all files found with the defined ending
for %%i in (.\*.svg) do (
set /a count=count+1
echo %%i
"%inkscapePath%" --without-gui --file="%%i" --export-text-to-path --export-plain-svg="output\%%i"
)

echo %count% file(s) converted.
