[Scribus] Problem with .svg file

[Heikki Luhamaa]

Found solution and maybe is help to someone.

So to have .svg object text to be printed in Scribus I changed text
object in .svg file in Inkscape as follows:

1. Turned text to path (Path->Object to Path)
2. Break the text apart (Path->Break apart)
3. Now letters with empty spaces within (like P) are filled. For them I
selected both paths (describing letter outer space and empty space) and
excluded them (Path->Exclude). (If just combined it wont work within
Scribus!). Now the letters are nice again.
4. and voila - the file is now Scribus compatible :)
