YES! THANKS! to all of you! I'm operating both a Mac and a PC. On the Mac no prob but on the PC I went to View and noticed it was on 'Wide' (small bullet point next to it). Clicked on 'Custom'and magically a whole new tool bar, including the 'T' appeared above. Cheers guys

Am new to this but am watching a video where he types in some font and then clicks on a T which is on a top row of icons in order to edit his font (e.g. make it italic)
My Inkscape page does not have this long row of icons visible. Where do I find this?

Thanks to someone who can help.
