Comment 4 for bug 170264

I did try it, you know. I'm running Inkscape 0.38.

Here's what I'm doing:

1. Select text tool.
2. Click somewhere to start typing text and type away.
3. Blinking text marker is at end of line: Pressing "ALT+<
or >" - nothing happens.
4. Pressing once at "<" and then "ALT+< or >" makes the last
letter move.
5. Same happens whatever letter the marker stands at.

If I'm marking a letter early in the text all the other
follows the movement, but they do not move closer to
another, only the current letter with the marker on its left
side.

If I'm using the cursor tool the "ALT+< or >" then the whole
text moves a pixel at the time or something, but still the
letters are not getting closer to another.

In the "CTRL+SHIFT+T" dialog nothing happens to let me
tighten letter spacing.
