So, SVG is not an option with RTF.
For RTF the valid options are:
EMF (default), PNG, JPEG, JPG, JFIF
The PNG didn't seem bad to me when embedded and it did keep the italics. I didn't try all the options, but you can play around. I do know that there are some issues with using the Arial font families, if you search on here you'll find a post that details the issues (from Cynthia Zender).
Here's the doc link that states the type vs ODS output. I use ODS RTF statements because then I can control the file name and other things if necessary. This also means I can navigate to the myfolders, set up during installation, to see my files. No need to 'download' files anywhere.
ods rtf file='/folders/myfolders/output.rtf';
ods graphics / imagefmt=png;
ods escapechar='@';
%sganno;
data anno;
%sgtext(label="Here's some italic text with a subscript:",
textsize=14, textfont="Times New Roman",
x1=20, Y1=50,
anchor="LEFT", width=70);
%sgtextcont(label=" b@{sub 'i'}", textstyle="ITALIC");
run;
data _one_;
input x y;
datalines;
1 2
3 4
;
proc sgplot sganno=anno;
scatter x=x y=y;
run;
ods rtf close;
I'm sure some of the SAS guys will comment, and probably have the correct answer but wanted to give you some options until they come along and correct me once again 😉
