non standard Inkscape SVG output
I have just started using Scribus for page layout and have had an issue with the import of an SGV created in Inkscape. The image has two lines of text running along two separate curves. When I import the SVG into Scribus I get a message that tells the "SVG file contains unsupported features" and the resulting import has broken the text away from the paths. Are there text/path features in Inkscape which are non-standard or is this a Scribus problem? Interestingly enough an import of the same image when saved as an EPS imports fine.
Any ideas? Andy

Thanks for the pointer, however following the instructions does not fix the issue. Creating "non-flowed" text that has been "Put on Path" still detaches itself from the path when imported into Scribus. Converting the text to "regular (non flowed) text" by using the "Convert to text" command also does not fix the problem - the text is still detached on import. Perhaps the issue is not flowed vs non-flowed but the use of the "Put on Path" feature for text? Andy

could also be that the Scribus importer doesn't properly support Text on Path?
How does the file render in Opera, Firefox or Batik? If renders fine in these viewers, it might be a bug in the importer of Scribus. It would be good to write a bug-report at the scribus project then. Text on path is an important feature of SVG and should be implemented consistently across the implementations.

Text on a path is not the same as flowed text (textArea).
