Text and overlapping with Pen

Postby inkyquestions » Sat Dec 18, 2010 10:27 pm

When using the pencil tool (to draw freehand lines) :tool_pencil: the overlapping areas become white/transparent, as seen in the screenshot. Is there a way to automatically fill this area black.

Thanks for your help :D

In the Fill and Stroke dialogue there are two icons that control this, you should recognize them when you see them ;)

It remembers your last choice, so you should already be set ;)
