Re: [Inkscape-user] Transparent text or text mask.
Thanks Rob, but.. did you try it? Is it working for you? It doesn't for me. Neither in home computer, nor in the one I have got where I work..
As far as i use some text, grouped or not with some background, the bitmap just disappears completely when masking it. I tryied many combinations, white text black background, black text white background, with gradients et cetera.. nothing working .. :(

Yes, I did try it. And it worked fine.
Do you have the z-order correct? The bitmap must be below the grouped text/rectangle.
