IPE uses Latex to render text (so you can do formulas etc). You need a
copy installed. If you're on windows you can download and install
MikTex (google it). On linux you can install Tex Live.

When that is done you should be able to press CTRL-L in IPE and it
will convert all the text into nice latex fonts.
