how can I resize text boxes without resizing the font ? - What I want is that the font size remains stable and the number of lines increases when I make a text box narrower.
you are looking for 'Flowed text'?

To change an existing regular text-object, draw a rectangle with the desired new text frame proportions, select both the text-object and the rectangle and use menu 'Text > Flow into Frame'.
Caveat: 'Flowed Text' will create issues in other SVG renderers. Please use 'Text > Convert to Text' and save as separate (maybe Plain SVG) file if you need to be able to to edit the flowed text later.
