Text handling
Often, when working with images, you’ll need to work with text, too.
Of the programs we’re looking at in this month’s Roundup, Inkscape is the best one for working with text. At all times, text objects remain fully editable and you can carry out tasks such as add shadows and gradient fills, and alter the line style and width. Beyond that, you can convert text into a path to make further alterations to the shape. There’s also a tool that makes it possible for you to constrain text to the bounds of another object, such as a box.
