    A less destructive method for cutting out parts of the letters, and without the need to convert them to paths, is to create the same duplicate shape used in the difference operation and convert it into a black mask area. Add a white area for the visible parts, group the two, and apply the group as a mask to the text. Same result basically which can be edited later on.

    Your videos has taught me so much about inkscape , thank you so much ! I'm having a issue now though that hopefully you can help me with . For some reason it stopped saving my preferred settings . I Uninstalled and installed the latest version and when I first try to open it it still has a pop-up saying it will not save my preferred settings . It says " the preferences file c : /users/lewiepc/appdata/roaming/inkscape/preferences.xml is not a valid xml document. Inkscape will run with default settings, and new settings will not be saved." I hadn't changed any settings before it started doing this . It just started doing it one day . If you or anyone has a fix I'd really appreciate it 🙂

    Hi, I like your channel but for some reason my Inkscape has a bug. When I select the text tool, I can't change the kerning manually, so I have to change it with the pre-destined numbers. For example if I want 20, I'd have to go from 0,1,2,3,4.... until reaches 20. I think it is a monitor problem (I use a TV with 1024x768), so I use Inkscape compacted which is recommend for small screens, it made more icons appear but the kerning still is not visible to use manually. When I say manually I refer to change the number precisely, so if I want 30 I type in 30 and then I get what I want. Your Inkscape menu has a bunch of space, could you tell me what monitor you use?

    You chose to move each letter one by one for the "design" word. Would it make sense to use spacing instead ? Is it just an habit or a kind of artistic approach that my technical mind can't proceed ^^ ? Or is there a specific reason that makes this option irrelevant in this case ? Nice to see the new inkscape version BTW

    Plus, you have better control if you move letters by hand. Logo text doesnʼt airways work like usual text, it's more like a graphic (here the modifications with the letter S create a new situation), so the automatic kerning might not result in what your eye wants.

  • 3 жыл бұрын

    @@sheaulle indeed minor adjustments are often required I totally understand that. As an absolute non-artistic kind of person, having proportional change is the option that came to my mind as a first draft. My question was more to know if there was some kind of unwanted behaviour that will happen by using spacing.

  • @Drax658

    @Drax658

    3 жыл бұрын

    @Loïk Menard the one way I can think of is that the using spacing works for the whole word. But there will be cases when it won't be enough. For example: you are making logo with a word "STAR" now look at the T and A letters: (KZread font ia actually a bad example) letter T is wider at the top while letter A i wider at the bottom that makes illusion the space between them is actually bigger and to make it look good you need to adjust it. Nick had article about it if I find it I'll link it. In this video I think it's just a habbit though 😁

    I'm loving the tutorial yet it could be better if you had a short 2min tutorial about importing fonts at the beginning of the main tutorial that would explain the fundamentals for beginners while giving them an edge in time that accommodates for the beginner, intermediary and expert. Only difference would be that the beginners might have to repeat the tutorial more times than the intermediaries and experts, before they find themselves on that degree of graphics.
