Then duplicate the white border and make the duplicate black: Then apply the outset effect until happy (no need to resize this time, we are working on a rough border): Now duplicate the text for the withe border:Ĭolor the duplicate temporarily in any random, non-white color (we need to see it over the white background) and move it under the initial text:

Then outset it (Path > Outset) a few times using whatever the value is default for the operation until I am happy (due to the large size the outset is not bad with a large step, at the small size it would destroy my text):Īnd, of course, change the color to the desired one:Īnd resize down to the size I will actually use: I could go to the preferences dialog and use a small step for "Inset/Outset" (like 0.1):īut I am too lazy for that (open the preferences, do the operation, change the preference again) so I am doing all the work on canvas: freely resize the text (keeping the Ctrl key pressed to preserve the aspect ratio): So select the handfont font and write something with it: Weeks ago when I started the webcomic I went to what seemed to be the simplest route but in the long run it may not be the best: the problem with the way I do it is that the text is converted to path so it can't be edited later, no easy translation is possible (so the various translations have an English title) and the title text can't be found inside the SVG (maybe some day it will be searchable on web).īut enough with the talk, let's jump at the work: my first problem is the font I use: handfont is a free cursive font, but is is not very developed (I use it mostly because it's completely free), it does not have a bold variant and I want the title text thicker, which I am doing with outset. If there is something original in there, it may be the style, the tutorial has two parts: the first one about "how I do it" (the wrong way) and the second about "how I should do it". Again, a basic tutorial which probably does not bring anything new for the experienced Inkscape user: it is about the way I create the cartoon titles for my Fedora webcomic.
