After import of a Postscript file you e.g. get some text in your SVG.

However, if you want to edit this text (F8), the behaviour is not like "normal" text.
You can delete characters but the following characters do not move forward. And if you want to insert a new character you cannot place it at the place where you just deleted one.


Is this because this imported text is no "real" text but just positioned characters?
Is this inherent to PS-imported text?
Just, wondering what the reason of this behaviour is and if and how it can be avoided?
Thank you for clarification.

Hi,
I would try ungrouping all objects, then use Menu:Text>Remove Manual Kerns.

Chime back, if that doesn't help.

Thanks, @tylerdurden.
That's it! If you know how it's called, you even find it in the manual
