I need some Linux based program that will allow me to create an assortment of drawings exported in SVG as exploded shapes that are primarily composed of a couple of words of text rendered with a few effects. Normally I would have used Inkscape for this, but the catch is I need to use some alternate glyphs (swash capitals) from an OpenType font and Inkscape does not seem to support this yet.
What options do I have for this on Linux short of stealing a friend's Mac or running a VM to use InDesign?
