Hi First greetings all - am new to the list but avid Inkscape (ab)user and advocate for a few years now using it in most of my graphic and web design work. Had a question someone on list might be able to help me with. I'm aware of kerning individual letters in Inkscape, but is there a way of applying global kerning to a block of text (so that each letter in the group undergoes the same amount of kerning?)
Diolch in advance,
Cole
PS posted this also on the Inkscape forums so apols for cross-posting if you hang out there too

Diolch in advance,
Yes, either place the cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to kern (if you want to kern all of the block) or select the section of text you wish to kern, and then use the standard kerning commands.
See:

Note: The Text->Remove Manual Kerns command seems to be broken in both 0.45 and 0.46. One can remove all manual kerns for a block of text with the XML Editor if necessary.
