Hi there,

I'm a new user of GIMP, I want to import a bunch of SVG files (made with Inkscape) and convert them to jpeg files but when I open them any text that I have put on a path is missing for some reason!

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers,
MEGA.

Yes, Gimp will render the text as a graphic but not as a path (1)

edit: Not reading the question properly as it happens
Yes the text is missing, (1) I do not know why
You need to convert the text in Inkscape (use Path -> Object to Path) before Importing into Gimp (2)

Since the svgs are going to end up as raster (jpeg) images anyway, why not export as pngs from inkscape for use in Gimp.
