So, as a graphic designer (or just a hobbyist), these tools can add a lot of value to your compositions, and add to your toolkit a lot of value. On the other hand, paths give you a great power, for example you can manipulate the shape of the path by using the nodes tool, apply gorgeous path effects, apply Boolean operations over multiple (addition, subtraction, intersection, … etc.), and much more. In our subject, text, it is easier to add some text, change the typeface (the font and its size), keyring (the space between letters), text alignment, … etc.īut these are not as convenient (or not even possible) once the text object is converted to a path. Objects can be manipulated in certain ways that makes them easier to work with as a starting point, for example a rectangle’s angle can be curved easily when they are objects, that’s possible when they are changed to path but not as straightforward.
So, let’s look at those before we delve in to the main topic of converting text to path in Inkscape. Inkscape has two elements that it works with: Objects and Paths, either of these has its benefits and drawbacks.
