Hello,
Designer does not seem to support the textpath element when importing SVG files. Currently I know of no way to import curved text in editable form.
The example on the linked page
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<!-- to hide the path, it is usually wrap into a <defs> element -->
<!-- <defs -->
<path id="MyPath" fill="none" stroke="red"
d="M10,90 Q90,90 90,45 Q90,10 50,10 Q10,10 10,40 Q10,70 45,70 Q70,70 75,50" />
<!-- </defs> -->
<text>
<textPath href="#MyPath">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</textPath>
</text>
</svg>
looks like this in the browser
but looks like this in Designer:
This is a shame, since the tools for editing curved text are pretty good. It would be great to have this functionality.
Thanks,
Ville
