Wishlist item to have a feature that will create "inverted"(aka negative image) text for etching text on the copper layer.
Inverted as in 'photographic negative' (etched text). Currently the copper pour is removed & normal text is added.

I smell a duplicate issue here. You might want to serach for it on the tracker. But a problem that needs to be resolved with this is how to handle dead copper in for example an e, in regard to the DRC.
I would personally also love this feature. But if you really need it you can workaround it by using the bitmap2component to make modules that can then "connect" to the fill and give the effect.
