Yeah, for just text that probably works. Though, you still need to edit the file so that only the inner cutlines cut at drop-free power. So, if you are making a lot of a single design that is only text, this could help.

This seemed like it shouldn’t be impossible to do in a batch manner, so I investigated. Here you go:

Isolating text islands in Inkscape

I wanted to see if there was a clever way to isolate the cutouts from vector text, it can be useful in some situations. It all came from this discussion (scroll down for the relevant bits). Here’s how I did it. A quick note: this is a fairly advanced set of boolean actions, nothing too complicated if you understand paths in Inkscape, but if you don’t, I’m about to go too fast for you (sorry). Read some more forum stuff and come back sometime.

Aww come on, tell us all the details!

Nope. Think…
