[Inkscape-user] 3d text.

-There are several tutorials on producing 3d buttons but what about 3d text? I want to simulate the look of embossed text as found on a mass market paperback cover. A gel looking text can be produced in Gimp following a 32 step (!) procedure. I am looking for an inkscape technique that is a little less arduous and of course in Inkscape, not Gimp.
