Layered Text Problem

Recommended Posts

I searched the topic, and I go through the steps, but when I highlight one set of text (either one, it doesn't matter) and go to Path- Outset, nothing happens.  No matter how many times I hit Outset, the text doesn't get any bigger.

Does anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi, I've found that inkscape does not always have the default 2 px setting.  You need to go into the file menu, choose Inkscape preferences, then choose steps, then set a value in inset/outset by:  The default value is supposed to be 2px, but for some reason that option is usually set to 0. 

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice. I found that if you turn the text to path's, then offset, it seems to work.
