Lots of bits of text with boxes around them? Here's an extension to automatically resize all the boxes to fit all the texts with specified padding, all at once. You just draw the boxes approximately in the right place and the extension tidies everything up. https://gist.github.com/tbnorth/7420972 Perhaps something like this could be bundled with Inkscape?

Hi, This is really really useful, thanks Chris!

I wonder if in the future you are planning to put more measures, like, this is useful to me while i'm working on printed media mainly. Obviously i can do the math! And the other thing around if it is actually possibly to do

this effect the other way around, just resizing the text frame to a desired box size. Anyway, this is awesome.
