Text Line-Height controls: how to use

Postby tylerdurden » Wed Jul 03, 2019 12:02 am

Let's identify common text scenarios and how to set the Text Tool controls for each scenario.

1) Uniform text height and uniform line spacing.

2) Uniform text height and non-uniform line spacing.

3) Non-uniform text height and uniform line spacing.

4) Non-uniform text-height and non-uniform line spacing.


Any others?

We can address each one below and I'll edit this post to quote the best techniques offered.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
