Five Steps of Inkscape… Outlining Fonts
May 19th, 2006Inkscape is an awesome free illustration program which is available for OSX, Windows, and Linux. It’s kind of like Adobe Illustrator, from what I understand.
Anyway, and now a stupid Inkscape trick:
- We want to put an outline around this text.
- You can choose Object → Fill and Stroke → Stroke Paint and add a border in the color of your choosing.
- You can adjust the thickness of the border with Object → Fill and Stroke → Stroke style, but if you set the width to a high value it turns ugly.
- The solution is simply to make a copy of the orignal and remove the border. Then make sure the borderless copy is above the bordered copy by selecting the borderless copy and doing a Object → Raise to top. Then select them both, and do Object → Align and distribute, and align their centers vertically and horizontally.
- Voilà. Tweak the fonts and border size, impress your friends.
Nice blog, and nice post.
