Comment 1 for bug 171719

I agree, this feature would really save time.

It would be useful to make short lines of text have the same length of longer ones increasing automatically adjusting letter spacing.
I'd really need it as I use Inkscape for layouting purposes and to get that effect I have to convert text to path, then separate it and combine again each glyph on its own to use alignment tools. Pretty annoying, mainly if text is long and/or I have to edit text later.
