Comment 15 for bug 219709

Any update on this issue? I am using 0.48.2 on Windows 7. Making plots with matplotlib (python) and LaTeX fonts for publication inclusion, and would like to import into Inkscape to add some arrows, labels... . But when i import, the Computer Modern Serif font is changed to Sanserif one. When I select text, it shows in the font selector "Computer Modern" and an exclamation mark ("Font not found on system").
The font required is called "CMU Serif" on my system, and if I change the font manually for each text it looks good. But this does not work for special characters and takes a while.
Can you please include option to convert text to paths based on embedded fonts for pdf import? Or a selection dialog allowing to specify which font will be used instead?

At least pdf import shouldn't break the visual appearance of the original pdf.
