A SVG file created with Inksacpe is nearly the same thing as a GIMP
"path", in that the formats are compatible enough for the GIMP to
interpret an SVG file.
I seem to have originally replied to you, not the list - oops. For
reference, here's my earlier post:
I'm using GIMP 2.8.10, hopefully this all works the same in your version...
To import an SVG file into the GIMP, open the Paths dockable dialog and
create a new, empty path. (That's the counter-intuitive part.)
Then, it becomes possible to import an SVG file via the "Import" button
at the bottom of the said dock. [note: vs. right-click the new path's
thumbnail and select "import", I probably got that wrong in my original
reply.]
This should give "perfect" results, loading the original vector paths in
the GIMP, available for use in making an image with pixels and such. It
may take a bit of tweaking but the parts should all be present.
You can then render visible content on a (new) image layer from the
imported SVG path(s) via the stroke function, path-to-selection followed
by filling the selection, etc.
