After converting text into path in Inkscape and breaking the path:
-- union will cause de inner boundaries of Os and such to disappear--just like as if one put a lesser circle into into a larger one and asked for 'union' (boolean math)
-- combine, when the single path is imported into Gimp, with show many subpaths out of place (interior circle of O , P..., dot of i...)
Yes, i can can confirm, sometimes after editing text in Inkscape and re-importing into Gimp, some elements of a letter are off (displaced).
But its not every time.
For some reason Gimp sees elements of a path differently than Inkscape. These elements are always part of a compound path (like the hole in the letter o).
I thought its some kind of bug or perhaps due to a badly designed font.
Good to know its fixable with the 'Break Apart' action you described !
EDIT: i just tried the 'Union' method with five different fonts and they all imported okay into Gimp, so i think its definitely dependent on the font you use.
