Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Text tool features” using Inkscape.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn about:
00:09 * Manual kerning
00:10 * Spell checking
00:12 * Super-script
00:13 * Sub-script.
00:15 To record this tutorial, I am using:
00:17 * Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS
00:20 * Inkscape version 0.48.4.
00:24 I will be recording this tutorial in maximum resolution mode. This is to accommodate all the tools that will be demonstrated.
00:33 Let us open Inkscape.
00:35 Earlier in the series, we learnt to create and format text using the Text tool.
00:40 Now, we will learn some important features of the Text tool. Click on it.
00:45 Let us start with Manual kerning.
00:48 Horizontal kerning, Vertical shift and Character rotation are called manual kerns.
00:54 Type the word Spoken.
00:58 Keep the cursor after the alphabet “S”.
01:01 Horizontal kerning adds space after the selected letter.
01:05 Click on the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the space between the letters “S” and “p”.
01:13 Notice that the space is introduced only between the letters “S” and “p”.
01:19 Let me keep the Horizontal kerning parameter as 3.
01:24 The next icon, i.e. Vertical shift, shifts the letters after the selected letter up or down.
01:30 Click on the up and down arrows.
01:34 Observe the letters after the cursor have shifted up and down.
01:39 Keep this parameter as 15.
01:42 Next, we will rotate our characters using Character rotation.
01:47 This icon rotates only a single character which is right after the cursor.
01:51 So, place the cursor before the letter “e”.
01:55 Click on the up and down arrows of Character rotation and observe that the letter “e” rotates.
02:02 To apply the kerns to more than one character, select the characters first then give the values.
02:09 Let me select the letters “p” and “o” and give Horizontal kerning parameter as 5,
02:17 Vertical shift parameter as 10 and
02:21 Character rotation parameter as 20.
02:24 Observe the changes.
02:26 To remove the kerns, go to Text menu.
02:29 Click on Remove Manual Kerns.
02:32 Manual Kerns can be used only in Regular text.
02:35 In Flowed text, these options will be disabled.
02:39 To check, create a text box.
02:43 Observe, the Manual kerns options are now disabled.
02:47 Press Ctrl + Z to undo this action.
02:51 Next, we will learn about Spell check feature.
02:54 To explain the Spell check feature, I will copy text from LibreOffice writer that I had saved already.
03:01 Press Ctrl + A to select the entire text and then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
03:08 Now come back to Inkscape.
03:10 Click on the canvas and press Ctrl + V to paste the text.
03:15 Go to Text menu and click on Check Spelling option.
03:19 A new dialog box appears.
03:22 All text is checked regardless of whether it is selected or not.
03:27 When a suspect word is found, it will be highlighted with a red box and the cursor will be placed before the text.
03:33 A list of suggestions appears for the word “http”.
03:37 Since the spelling is correct we will add this word to the dictionary.
03:41 To do so, click on Add to Dictionary button.
03:45 This will cause the spell checker to accept the word as correctly spelled always.
03:50 Next, the word “tutorial” is highlighted.
03:53 Since the spelling is wrong, select the correct word from the suggestion list which is “tutorial”.
03:59 Now click on Accept button.
04:02 If you click on Ignore, all other similarly spelled words in the document will get ignored.
04:08 If you click on Ignore once, the word will get ignored only once i.e the first time only.
04:14 If you want to stop the spell-checking process, click on Stop.
04:18 We can restart the process by clicking the Start button.
04:22 Spell checking will begin with the text at the top-right and work down the canvas.
04:27 Let us close this dialog box now and keep this text aside.
04:32 Next, we will learn to write Superscript and Subscript.
04:36 Type the mathematical formula (a+b)2 = a2+b2+2ab.(a + b whole square is equal to a square plus b square plus 2ab).
04:44 We have to change the number 2 as square in three places.
04:48 Select the first 2. Go to Tool controls bar. Click on Toggle Superscript icon.
04:56 In a similar way, change the remaining 2s.
04:59 Next, we will write a chemical formula using subscript.
05:04 So, type “H2SO4”.
05:07 Here 2 and 4 should be written as subscripts.
05:11 First select 2. Go to Tool controls bar and click on Toggle Subscript icon.
05:17 In a similar way, change the 4.
05:19 Let us summarize.
05:21 In this tutorial, we have learnt:
05:24 * Manual kerning
05:25 * Spell checking
05:26 * Super-script and
05:27 * Sub-script.
05:29 Here are 2 assignments for you-
05:31 Write the text “How are you” and change the font size to 75.
05:36 Keep the cursor next to “w”. Change Horizontal kerning parameter to -20.
05:42 Select the words are. Change the Vertical shift parameter to 40.
05:47 Select the words you. Change the Character rotation parameter to -30.
05:52 Write the following formulae using Sub-script and Super-script options.
05:57 Silver sulfate - Ag₂SO₄.
06:00 a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)
06:06 Your completed assignment should look like this.
06:09 The video available at the following link summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. Please watch it.
06:15 The Spoken Tutorial Project team conducts workshops and gives certificates for those who pass an online test.
06:22 For more details, please write to us.
06:24 Spoken Tutorial Project is supported by the NMEICT, MHRD, Government of India.
06:30 More information on this mission is available at this link.
06:34 We have come to the end of this tutorial.
06:36 This is Arthi and Priya from IIT Bombay, signing off. Thanks for joining.
