Kerning for letter pairs

[pygmee]

Actually, the kerning shortcut moves all the selected letter but add "space" only between the first of the selection and the previous. It would be great the apply the kerning to each letter in the same time. Which would be much easier to evaluate spacing in an entire line or paragraph.

Some filed could also display the kerning value to let the user apply the value to identical pairs.

There is a way to kern all the letters in the selection equally - the shortcut is

Alt + >
and
Alt + <

Does that solve your request?

What did you mean by your last sentence? To add interface where you would see the kerning value or something similar? If so you should report it in a new request and maybe add a screenshot that clarifies your suggestion.

This is something different: he requests to be able to set the same kerning for all pairs of letters in the text. For example, if you have a text like "abababababab", there should be a way to adjusting the kerning fo all "ab" pairs.

i guess it's implemented now. May be close it ?

@pygmee - Are you sure it's implemented? Maybe I don't understand the initial request, but I see nothing in Inkscape that allows kerning (I mean with the kerning SVG attribute). Instead, you can set letter spacing to a selection, but it's not exactly the same (different SVG attribute).
