Hello,
Here is a draft for a template proposal adapted to Inkscape Typographic Extension used togheterwith SVG filters to alterate typefaces (some tastes of the Cross-Smooth filter are included in the template and accessible by the Filters Editor).
I apply one of the filters to the charater visible in the window, then I fill the result with the "Fill bounded areas" tool and Then I do Extensions/Typography/Add Glyph Layer.
One of my problems is that I don't know how I could precisely place the text origin to zero in this template. I did it manually (and it gives good results when opening the SVG font in FontForge) but I would do it more exactly. I don't figure how I could do it with the XML Editor.
Another problem is that the range of unicode characters useable to type into the "Add Glyph Layer" dialog box isn't very wide (for example accented characters doesn't work... and Iuse french language). Could it be possible to fix that ?
But a funny facility in this dialog box is that you can type a lot of characters at one time in this dialog box and then it creates one layer by character !
Enjoy !
