Re: Making Inkscpe SVGs accessible to screen readers

Sorry for the double post, but I accidentally had MIME enabled in the
last message, so I'm re-posting it plaintext only.

The text in the accessibility modified file is visible, but it's not selectable.

The original, "non-accessible" file, has selectable text, but only via
a CTRL-A, a CTRL-C and a CTRL-V. But its text is quite ugly and
garbled when pasted.

I've tested the original, "non-accessible" SVG file with JAWS* and it
reads the file pretty decently, but it doesn't even read *anything*
from the "accessible" SVG file.

I've provided the original SVG, the screen reader accessible SVG that
I attempted to create and the "diff -Nau" between the two files in a
zip archive, to which I've linked on my Mediafire account :

Any help would be appreciated.
