hi jan,
am i right in thinking that when you say strokes you not are talking about strokes in the inkscape sense, but the way the pen moved when it wrote the letter?
for a simple example, if you scanned a letter l then you would get a path that follows the outline of the letter, when what you really want is a path that runs down the centre of the letter to show how the pen moved.
is that what you are after?

Hello!
Thanks for your answer! I run Inkscape in spanish just to be sure I followed your advice correctly ;)
I did "Trazo -> Objeto a trazo". This will however extract only the outline of the letter not the strokes ....
What I'm doing now is that I take a letter and then draw carefully all strokes by hand over the letter. To smooth strokes up, I'm using 'Simplification' (Ctrl+L). In this way I get the strokes of the printed letter.
For handwritten letters I'm using freehand tool.
If someone knows better way for extracting STROKES (not outline) of font, please let me know.
Thanks Jan

Only way that occurs to me is by writing something, changing the fill and stroke (so no fill is shown and you're left with the stroke), then convert the selection to traces, in Spanish the option is called "convertir objeto a trazo", which roughly translates into "convert object to stroke/traces"
