Thanks brynn, I was playing around with the stroke method but it wasn't looking right when I sent it to my plotter software. I have since found a work around where I create the text then make 3 copies of it. Then I applied the stroke to one of them then selected that and another and centered v. and ...

Hi,
I am quite new to inkscape and was wondering if there is a way to create a text outline which duplicates the original text rather than giving it rounded corners like the red one in the picture below?




TIA
