RbnJrg,

I tried converting a chart to a path by selecting it and the using Path/Object to Path then saving it as a plain SVG. Unfortunately, all the text in the chart is stilled saved in the SVG as text.

I also tried a small table; ten cells and a two-line title. I selected all twelve text strings individually (if Inscape has a "Select All" option, I have yet to find it.) and used Path/Object to Path to convert the strings to paths then saved the file as a plain SVG. In this case, although the strings were converted to paths, the font-family and all of the other font attributes were still present in each of the paths. However, I don't see what good the attributes are doing, as the text in the strings is not included in the paths. And there are a LOT of paths...one for each character in each string! Maybe I'm missing something, but I had expected the font attributes to go away and each text string to be handled as a graphic object, i.e., a shape or a collection of shapes for each text string.
