Hmm, I have an SVG with a textPath to show some wiggly text and now I want to do some post-processing on it in Figma, but when I open it in Figma, the text layer contains no text?
Any suggestions? Can I convert a text/textPath to outline/path in the browser using JavaScript somehow? Could I calculate the x/y/rotation of each letter using JavaScript somehow and replace the textPath? Have I missed some obvious, easy alternative?
