What was your point, with "he then just replies with a one liner, his bank account number"?
That seems a reasonable way to support additional features in an open source project, especially if the volunteer developers have no personal interest in the feature.
A one-line comment would be a bit brief. "This feature isn't planned, but one of the core developers would be willing to take on the work for payment. If that's interesting to you, we will estimate the cost."
"What was your point, with "he then just replies with a one liner, his bank account number"?"
That I am not criticizing the inkscape devs, for having implemented such a bad text support. They had other priorities and people like me, who would have liked it, did not pay enough money, to have it implemented. Simple as that. So the other comment was not neccesary.
