Justify text

Postby braha » Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:20 pm

How can I justify my text?

I click on the :tool_text: icon and draw a textbox and start typing in it.

I can align center, left and right without a problem but when I click justify nothing happens.

I've read everything on this site:

So any help would be appreciated thx in advance

"Justify" in Inkscape has not that much options and it also differ from case to case. It largely depend on text it self (number of words and length of these words in comparison to the textbox) so it is possible not to see "bigger" changes when it`s applied.

If needed, some manual kerning with Alt+< and > should do the thing.
(while :tool_text: is active, as well as the text in the textbox)
:tool_zoom: <<< click! - but, those with a cheaper tickets should go this way >>> :!:
