Hi,
With the chance of being told to RTFM (whats an M anyway?, I still havent read the Scribus ones!)..
Where is the/Is there a Convert Text to Path option in Inkscape? (0.42.2)
Second item from the bottom in the Text menu. Also, there is a commandline option '-T, --export-text-to-path' to do this.
Why? Because importing text in an SVG into Scribus is ugly, due to a) limitations with our text frame sizes, b) PostScript vs SVG text definitions (IIRC).
I noticed when loading PDF's into Scribus via pdftops and saving as SVG, somewhere along the line the text all got converted to paths, which didn't result in what I'd hoped for; it'd be great if it could preserve the text (even if it lost some of the font information).
