Naïveté is fine but know the rules before you break them. “You can’t do better design with a computer, but you can speed up your work enormously.” So I leave you with the similarly applicable. There's a quote (I believe attributed to Paul Rand) regarding the democratization of graphic design afforded by the Macintosh, but it doesn't come to mind right now nor can I find it. If the hobbyist/neophyte/blind "designer" insists on creating a pseudo-bold or pseudo-italic, like stretching fonts as opposed to using the correct condensed/extended typeface, it is up to them to deface the font on their own and not Inkscape's, nor should Inkscape be an accomplice to this. 2nd text block: 'Jkij' italicised but with 'k' and 'i' overlapping. Created a copy of the first object and applied italics.
Applied the font (Neutraface 2 Text Book) and font size (20). Also although scripting questions are allowed here, GDSE isn't a script writing service. Created the 1st text block from scratch (no copy/paste from outside). Note that this isn't a great solution for all fonts however, best to stick with more simple sans-serif fonts.
Both (ugly) modifications may be performed in Inkscape at present time. That's by far the simplest method to create faux-bold lettering. Pseudo-bold merely brute-force offsets the original pseudo-italic does not even create an finessed oblique version let alone a true italic but merely slants the typeface at an angle. Pseudo-bold and pseudo-italic do not take into account the design of the original face. But they are two different designs with mathematical/aesthetic variation. When demand for a matching style came into play, the foundry created an additional bold or italic face. Typefaces are not to be raped over nine times due to ignorance of design rules.Ī type designer, at least since the days of Caslon and Manutio (before there was "type design"), created a typeface (a semiotic system of communication) as a standalone design. If a font family doesn't include a bold/italic face, choose another font. I don't think Inkscape has any business in this (what I consider) nonsense. The short-ish version: I sincerely hope whoever is in charge of making such decisions would reconsider this request. Trying to use the offset tool to artificially bold a font is a) difficult and b) stops it being 'text' anymore (so you can't change what it says). It should warn the user that the font is 'fake' but it should allow them to continue at their own peril. Inkscape could generate a pseudo bold and italic font for those that don't have on in the.
