I have the same problem, and I would like Inkscape to include an option to import text as paths, like pdf2svg does.

When converting a PDF with pdf2svg to SVG, and then opening the SVG with Inkscape, the text usually looks exactly the same as in the PDF (since it was converted to paths). But since most users probably don't know pdf2svg, it would be nice if Inkscape would include an option in the import-dialog to import text as paths -- either by implementing it in Inkscape, or by calling pdf2svg (if available) from the Inkscape-dialog.
