So A glyph representing A should have its ID set to 'A' (without quotes). The path should have the XML ID same as theĬharacter text. (if there are multiple segments they need to be combined in a single path). Each designed glyph should be a single SVG path Then design the fonts with reference to the guides in the template. To create your own font you need to first create a template invoking 'Create Font Design Template' extension. These fonts are available in the Render Text tool with prefix 'Hershey'. The existing Hershey Text fonts are also ported to the format required for these extensions. The extensions come with 3 pre-designed custom fonts. The resulting file size may also become quite large, since path of every letter is stored separately. For large files, however, it might take considerable time for rendering. It's possible to render an entire text file in stroke font with the 'Render text from file' option. If the 'Create Extended Rectangles' option has a value oher than 'None' and if the text does not fit the given set of rectangles, then new rectangles will be created in the selected direction to fit the entire text. Now check the 'Flow Text in Boxes' and select horizontal and vertical alignment options. To have an aligned text, create rectangle(s) and select it (them) before invoking the render text tool.

There are a number of options to taylor the rendering. To render a text string using the custom stroke fonts, use the Render Text extension. So after extracting the zip, there should be 14 files and one 1 folder called 'strokefontdata' added in the user extensions folderĪfter installation, the extensions appear under a new sub-menu 'Custom Stroke Font' under Extensions menu of inkscape. Double click this folder within the zip and extract all its contents in the extensions folder. For example: if your download file is inkscapestrokefont-master.zip, then opening the file will show a single folder called inkscapestrokefont-master.
