SVG text on path missing

[rich2005]

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.
