Bug Description
(Inkscape 0.47 release, OS X 10.6.4)
If you use the 'stroke to path' feature on text (or on paths that originated from text using 'object to path' and ungroup first), the appearance of the path is different to the appearance of the stroke.
This happens with at least 2 fonts I tried (...out of 2), one of which - Droid Sans - is open-source, so I used that for the example.
To reproduce:
1) Enter text in the font.
2) Turn off fill and give it a stroke with width 2px
3) Copy-paste it
4) Use 'Stroke to path' on the copy
Observe that the path version has messed-up corners.
I wasn't sure if this is the same as, or related to, bug 445790 which came up in the search - but that is marked 'fix released' so thought it was better to file a new bug in case.
SVG example attached, will add screenshot (if it lets me) next.
