I made quite some basic icons in Inkscape, but when displaying the SVGs in other tools (browser or basic Linux image viewer), The text parts are not displayed at all.
How to get it to show up everywhere?
Answer
Aparently, the issue is that by selecting the text tool and then dragging a box instead of just clicking, one creates a free-flow text box instead of simple SVG text.
The solution is, to create a kind of exported copy of ones SVG, which has the free-flow converted to normal text, among maybe other things, while keeping the free-flow SVG as the original image, for future modifications in Inkscape.
Instructions from an excerpt from Wikimedia Text and Inkscape:
While your text object is selected, go to
Text -> Convert to Text. This converts your free-flow text object into normal text-objects. If you don’t do this, then commons may display only black boxes were the text is.
File > Save As...– make sure you chooseplain SVGfrom the drop-down list, notInkscape SVG!
