I exported some charts from Excel 2016 as PDFs. I imported the PDFs into Inkscape 0.92.3 and when I try to type in the text boxes, the letters I type overlap each other. In the below screenshot I placed the cursor after the 'l' in 'manual' and typed XYZ which overlap the l and the space after the l.

1) Drill down into the groups until you've got a text object selected (check the status bar).
2) Edit > Select Same > Object Type (to select all the text objects)
3) Text > Remove Manual Kerns
