Bug summary

When importing SVG files created by Matplotlib into Affinity Designer, text characters are imported on top of one another. There are no issues importing into Inkscape, and I have not tried any other software.

Code for reproduction

# Exporting .SVG using the following code
plt.savefig('filename.svg')

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

Matplotlib SVGs were imported into Affinity Designer correctly prior to #17669 - specifically this commit 7480805
