How to convert Text for saving to HPGL

Postby muadib25 » Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:00 am

Hello!

I am a new Inkscape user. I started using Inkscape because I needed to convert some logos to .HPGL for using them with Front Panel Express.
So far, if I draw something freehand gets saved and exported correctly to HPGL, but texts fail to export.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Best Regards,
Kleo

Hi.

Try converting your text to paths before exporting, Object to Path - (Shift Ctrl C)
Good Luck!
