hi,
I use the font "Babylon5Credits" for a logo. But when I export it for my website and make it a little bit smaller, the logo is blured, so that it is difficult to read it.
I saw, that I can't make this font bold.
I there an other possibility to make my logo better?
Perhaps to draw each line bigger or sharper.

Re: Logo font as bitmap is burred
Maybe you should export it to the desired size. In my experience, reducing an image after exporting it from Inkscape tends to reduce its quality compared to exporting it directly.
You may also convert your Logo font into a path (note you will not be able to edit the text afterwards) through the Object to Path function and assign a stroke with the same colour as the font. That provides an illusion of a bolder font.

Hi.
You can make it sharper by pixel fitting*.
That can be done in a raster program by editing each blurred pixels or
by scaling the vector design to the exact size you would use and
placing every nodes on even pixels, and exporting it at 90 dpi -preferably use a duplicant of the original for that.
If you have only a text to use as a logotype, convert it to outlines before (press Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Shift+G, Ctrl+K in that order when it is selected).
There is a pixelsnap extension and you can set up a grid in the document's properties panel (Shift+Ctrl+D) to help you with it.
*That can solve blurryness, making it better technically, but it won't affect if that's a good logo or not.
It won't make the logotype itself more legible than it's original font.
Maybe some other font would look better at small sizes.
Common example if you can read your logo printed on a pen or not, to decide.
