    initial v1  
    11Taking a quick look at the preset svgs, it looks like you need to do some fiddling.

    3 Specifically, you are embedding an image in the SVG (at least in Philippines_road_sign_R5-5_L.svg). My recommendation would be to get some acceptably licensed vector source files from the government, or, failing that (and assuming that the current images are acceptably licensed), tracing the image using a vector image editor, and using that.
     3tracing the image using a vector image editor, and using that.

     5Hi - I made the images myself mostly in GIMP per hand.
     6And then I load them in inkscape - and saving them as svg
     7
     8I thought that means they are now svg - vectorized, are they not?

     10Can you point me to a website/tutorial to show me how to vectorize them if they're not yet?
     11
     12Also - I got AutoCAD files from the government - which I use. But the original official autocad files are not exactly as the ones on the road, like the printed letters on the real sign - are different from the autocad file I got.
     13
     14That's why I use GIMP because imo - our concept is mostly physical reality on the ground - so I use the autocad file as background for dimensions.. and then a real printed road sign along the road for the image creation in gimp.

     16But how do I do that "tracing?" would love to do that if you can point me to a website/tutorial?
