https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#flow ... orted-file (probably)

Solution: Make a backup of your file (the following operation is not reversible), select your text objects, select Path -> Object to Path.
(works for any text, not just flowed text, even if the font is not installed on the target computer)

You won't see a difference in Inkscape. In signcut, it should make a difference. Save the file with the texts that you converted to paths. Then open in signcut.
