[Ipe-discuss] Text size very large when converting from PDF to ipe?

Did you try that out? 
If I do that, the text gets even bigger than it is before. :-( 

The software can also export SVG, but at least in a first attempt I did not
manage the conversion with svgtoipe. I'll try again and report the results
here.

Kind regards

Martin
