silkscreen text may not be filled in correctly (Illustrator does not fill in default values for stroke and fill)

Mr. Majewski said, on our encoder pcb were the E and Z of Encoder and Fritzing in the silkscreen not filled (like on the most, we have seen). He fixed it now, but is it maybe a bug in the panelizing process? Like one panel is OK, the second spins around?

This is a Fritzing "bug", but it is not a problem with the gerber translation per se. The text in this svg actually seems to have started out as an image created by illustrator (see attached file). When Illustrator saves the image, it has no fill or stroke or stroke-width attributes, which means that Fritzing defaults to a stroke-width of 1, no fill, and a stroke color of white. So if you want to use rotEncoder.fzz, I suggest you fix up the image SVG from Illustrator and reload that into the logo image part. For example, have a look at the second SVG.
