    Hey,

    I've created a figure using Inkscape, I have used several extensions such as https://textext.github.io/textext/Β  and https://github.com/wanglongqi/WriteTeX to add some equations to the figures.

    They are working fine, but they save the equation as path instead of text, so when exporting the figure as PDF the equation can not be copied.

    When creating a figure in Python using Matplotlib and exporting it as PDF, each individual symbol can be marked and copied.

    Β 

    Even if I create a figure using python and saving it as SVG. Then editing the SVG file using Inkscape and exporting as PDF it converts the equation to path.

    Β 

    Regular text works just fine, and I can copy it when exported to PDF, I am talking about latex rendered text such as $f (x)= \frac{1}{2} x^{2}$

    I am aware to .pdf_tex option, I don't want that. I want a single PDF file

    Β 

    Thank you
