Help With Text

Postby mphi55 » Wed Aug 29, 2012 4:27 am

How can you tab over in text and then align the tabs to the text to the right of the tabs so they are all even?

Example:

1. Text text text..............Text text text
2. Text text text..............Text text text
3. Text text text..............Text text text
4. Text text text..............Text text text

Thanks,

not sure this is possible, see bugs-

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171457

two works arounds would be-
1) create two text boxes for right and left text
2) use monospace font, every character is the same width so spaces can be used as tabs

I could be wrong though....

Ok, thanks. I can work around, just didn't know if it had that capability.
