[SOLVED] Exploding text & splines

Can it be that we lost the functionality to explode TTF to splines.
As I remember TTF text exploded to spline outlines.
I may have contributed to the quick step to polylines what I am using a lot.
But it was certainly never my intention to fully restrict to polys, arcs & lines.
In App Prefs chosing not to explode TTF to polys we now get loose lines and arcs and sometimes but a very few splines.
And further on that:
Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType .. Technical notes:
'TTF are made of straight line segments and quadratic Bézier curves'
Where does the arcs come from and why are we getting cubic Bézier curves.
