I am new to Inkscape and particularly concerned about typing math formulas.
I searched the Internet before this post,these are the methods I tried:
1.Built-in LaTeX rendering.Extensions->Render->LaTeX.
Unfortunately,I don't find this menu item.
2.TexText.
This extension is full of problems.At last,I did'nt manage to use it.
3.Convert LaTeX into SVG and import into Inkscape.
There is several programs able to do this,like dvisvgm,but they only work in Linux.I am a Windows user.
4.Convert MathML into SVG
I just couldn't find a good translator.

Anyone can give me a solution?Thank you very much!

I don't find such an extension either, and I'm using 0.48 version. Perhaps it's not built-in, but available for download somewhere??
I'm really not knowledgeable about this, but wonder if there is a specialized font, which you could simply use with Text and Font editor?

I'm sure others will be able to help you more, so hang in there. I mostly just wanted to say welcome!

PS - Have you seen the new Glyphs feature (Text menu)? I don't suppose that would work?

You need to have a TeX distribution and Ghostscript installed (among the required external tools are pdflatex, dvips, pstoedit or pdf2svg), for the extension 'Render->LaTeX' to load and be available in the extensions menu. Same applies to the 'TeX Text' extension.

I of course installed TeX distribution (TeX Live)
Pstoedit is installed as well
But the log file still says Inkscape cannot load LaTeX formulae editor because of lacking pstoedit

Finally the LaTeX editor successfully loads.
But an error pops out when rendering a formulae
