hello, I've released an svg figure from a lexical analysis software.
This one is a figure with words. I need to replace the French words with English ones. I can select the "words", I can move them, but I can't edit them. So I think inkscape doesn't recognize them as "text". I can select the letters separately. So I think that for the software it's an object. I was hoping to be able to edit these "words" quite easily, but I don't know how to do it. Indeed, if I use a text box on top, I have to manage to reproduce the same font size because the words aren't all the same size. So it's quite time-consuming: deleting the object and replacing it with similar text. Is there an easily solution?
Try to export text as text object - I doubt Inkscape converts it during import. The advantage of converted text is of course it will look the same everywhere.
That´s a weird SVG - all the text elements are single linked Symbols/Glyphs for each letter grouped per word. I have no clue how to alter this file other than (not practical) replace the text with real text elements.
Please check the Export options in the "lexical analysis software" you mentioned. Perhaps PDF is available - not saying the output would be more suitable. Please open Layer->Layers and Objects" to check the structure of this file.
