Comment 14 for bug 1734624

For the TexText extension, someone has taken up development again. I've linked them to this report - and now I'll link the report back to them:
https://inkscape.org/en/~jcwinkler/%E2%98%85textext?c=1807

There may be a workaround for TexText, but probably not for the extension that comes with Inkscape.
