When typography is not properly kerned the eye is drawn to the uneven spacing negatively, whether that’s a claustrophobic feeling when letters are too close to each other or a loss of readability if there’s too much space. This consistency will make your typography have more rhythm and overall harmony. Kerning is about creating consistent space between letters. It will go back to being a single line of text. Text Unflow will undo that binding and the text will no longer be bound to the object’s shape. Now the text will be bound to the shape of that object. Go to the Text menu tab and select Flow into Frame( Alt W ). If you wanted text that you have written to conform to the shape of an object then you would have to select the object and the text by Shift clicking them together. What does Text Unflow do?Īside from allowing kerning, Text Unflow works in concert with Text Flow into Frame. All the text will return to its original kerned width.
If need to undo all of the kerning that you manually added just go to the Text menu tab and select Remove Manual Kerns from the drop down.
If you have ever wondered why kerning isn’t working in Inkscape this is the main reason why. This also can be used to add vertical space by hitting ( Alt ↑ or ↓ ) bringing a letter up or down. Now click in between letters and hit ( Alt ← or → ) to add more or less space between the individual letters. From that drop-down select Unflow or ( Shift Alt W ). To kern in Inkscape, you need to first have the text selected then go to the Text menu tab at the top.
