You can retain the ability to edit the text by using a fill-colored stroke instead and adjusting the thickness, but then you need to duplicate the object if you want to add an outline. Is there any way to alter multiple text objects at once in-document? I have some stylized text that's composited of 6 different text objects, and I can change the placeholder to whatever I want with the replace function in a text editor, but it would obviously be much easier if I could do it in Inkscape itself.
Thanks for that, it's a really good tip. You can select multiple text objects and change the fonts, and you can select/highlight the text in one text object and paste in replacement text, but I don't know of a way to change the text in multiple objects simultaneously, sorry.
When I do what you are telling me in video the P in Transport fills in completely. I’m using Goudy Old style font. I did it once and it worked. Now it’s filling it in on a new page.
The default for the offset is 2px, so if your text is small the offset will be bigger in proportion to the text. So a simple way to make the offset smaller is to make the text temporarily bigger. Hold down the crtl and shift (this will constrain propotions and scale around the centre) you can then drag a corner scaling handle with the selection tool to make the text bigger, apply as much offset as you want and then hold ctrl and shift and shrink it back down. This method can sometimes cause small areas of deformation. Another (and probably better) way you can do it is to adjust the thinkness of the stroke and then combine the fill and stoke together. In the Fill and Stroke dialog box (Object - Fill and Stroke) apply a stroke under the Stroke paint tab, you can then adjust the stroke width under the Stroke style tab. When you are happy with the text thinkness you can combine the stroke and fill together by selecting the text, go to Path - Stroke to path. Then click on ungroup (as the stoke and text paths will be grouped together) and finally go to Path - Union.

My god, you're doing everything Inkscape. I LOVE IT. Keep it up, mate.
Thanks
That was easy and you are easy to follow. A lot of tutorials just say things to do but they don’t show on screen what they are doing. Thank you!
Glad it helped
