I want to round some sharp (90 degree) corners to inlay some text. I can change the text to a path and at each sharp corner insert a node a short way away from the corner node and eliminate the corner node and that rounds the corner. Is there an easier way to do it?
LPE = Live Path Effect. Select your shape. [Path > Path Effects...] to open the dialog. In the dropdown list, choose Corners.
Inkscape has several tools that take data from a path and apply some calculations to create a new path. In this case corner nodes will be replaced by circular arcs. Here's a link to a video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hvEXPdEbCY

LPE „Corners“ on only selected nodes for instance.
Can anyone tell me what "LPE" means and where the "kerning" tab is?
