Working with Single Line Fonts in Inkscape

I tend to work in Inkscape with Fill On. If you are the same, you may run into problems when using single line fonts. Work with Stroke On and Fill Off. Another alternative is to work in Outline mode to clearly see the path of the font.


I know many of us like to change the spacing between each letter when we are working with fonts. A few things are slightly different when working with single line fonts.
You can still kern text in the normal manner.
You can still apply Object to Path and Ungroup to change the spacing between letters.
You cannot apply Path>Union, instead use Path>Combine.
You cannot apply Stroke to Path or you will end up with double lines. See example below.
