   @f4grx @scherzog @voxel There is a big rewrite in background (since years) lead by the dev Wolthera, with news on Krita-artist forum. A lot of the backend is already in Krita (without user noticed the shift) and the new GUI part is in work (path on text is part of it). But also font selection, psd text support, emojis, better RTL, etc..Etc..
   Links:
   - https://wolthera.info/
   - https://krita-artists.org/t/text-tool-thread/57973/132
   (and probably much much more info the KDE invent gitlab's MR https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/2092 eg: video)

     @scherzog @voxel ah, ok. I have immense respect for krita as it's probably supported by the artists using it, and they know better what is critical for them. there are usable workaround for the moment, complex text support will probably come when the time is right. meanwhile it's good to know that the issues are logged somewhere.

     @f4grx @voxel text tool improvements have been votable in fundraisers in the past but never got much traction despite being a well known pain point for ages, see e.g. https://krita.org/en/posts/2018/and-so-the-fundraiser-ends/ :(

     @davidrevoy @voxel @krita Thanks, David! it's surprising that krita has no built in tool for that (yet!).

     @f4grx @voxel @krita My own solution was more like a big workaround (for all the pattern in circle from the shop https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/files/eshop.html ):
     - I exported a flat image projection of my Krita stack as a PNG file aside my KRA.
     - I opened this PNG file with Inkscape, made all the text with it, saved as SVG.
     - then I hidden the background on my SVG, and exported the Inkscape text as PNG.
     - On my Krita stack I put the PNG as a "file layer", so at least it auto update when I re-export the the SVG.
