I'm happy to share with you my newest extension to simplify the creation of stickfonts. Together with the Custom Stroke Font extension I can now easily create single line fonts accompanied with its corresponding stickfont. I prefer the single line fonts, but would like to offer my fonts also as a stickfont for those reluctant to using Inkscape and who are happy with the letters being traced twice.

Read about it on my blog: http://cutlings.wasbo.net/single-line-font-to-stick-font/

In principle what the extension do is taking the selected paths, duplicating them, reversing them (you will need the newest paths.py, not the one that came with v1.0.1), and finally joining ends of overlapping open paths.

Hi Ellen,

That is quite something what you have done! What a nice blog you have too.
I have tried to understand your blogposts :-) and think you are really helping people further with your Inkscape extensions.
I do have a plotter, but have not used it for drawing yet. Only cutting, but who knows in the future what will happen?

The extension on the Inkscape site that you uploaded for deleting double nodes is very welcome for me.
I have seen that when you turn an object or a text into a path, that there are always double nodes.
Editing those -difficult-to-see- double nodes by hand was difficult and time consuming.

Thanks.

I'm glad to hear that my extensions and my blog can be of any help 😊
