I'm trying to convert SVG to PNG using Python, Cairo and librsvg. Everything is okay, except of the text typed along the curve. This text is blank on the result PNG image, although the normal horizontal text is OK.

1Can you Pastie up your SVG file? I wonder if it has something to do with Inkscape supporting proposed extensions for 1.1 that were abandoned - `flowPara` maybe? – halfer Apr 02 '12 at 07:00

Maybe relevant: http://en.dev.inkscape.org/faq/#what-about-flowed-text – halfer Apr 02 '12 at 07:02

@halfer: no flowed-text is much different, this is about textPath support, not arbitrary region textwrapping. – Erik Dahlström Apr 02 '12 at 07:43

Here is the [original SVG](http://192.168.1.7/share/curve-text.svg) – art.zhitnik Apr 02 '12 at 07:56

OK, fair enough (your SVG file is on a LAN IP address, btw - use pastie.org `:-)`). – halfer Apr 02 '12 at 09:01

textPath doesn't seem to be supported in librsvg, see e.g http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577844
