In _renderItem in src/display/drawing-text.cpp there is a conditional section under
if (_drawing.outline()) {that never seems to execute. Oddly, give its name, it appears that what it would do if it was ever activated, would be to draw the glyphs and then fill them. (Not stroke them). A breakpoint was placed in there and Inkscape was run for a while, making edits, rotating, scaling, stretching, changing the formatting, converting to paths, but nothing caused execution to enter that section.
I give up - what is the action that makes a text "outline" active?
Outline (wireframe) display mode (menu 'View > Display Mode > Outline ') renders all visible text with solid black fill and no stroke. The code snippet could be related to this display mode.
Yes, drawing.outline() is true if we should draw in outline mode. This is a very fast drawing mode which draws only the shapes of objects in a thin stroke. It is intended to be useful when working on massive drawings with lots of filters which can be very slow to edit otherwise.
