    Hi

    I'm importing a pdf. The font doesn't have an italic, no problem Inkscape imports a slanted text. Nice!

    When I try editing this directly, I get mush.

    No big deal I'm used to it. I usually copy/paste the text and edit it from here. But with a slanted text block, I just can't keep it left-aligned

    Β 

    If I use the double arrows on the object to realign the text, I lose the italic effect. If I don't, the text is all askew.

    Is there a way to slant the letters while keeping the left alignment?

    I feel a bit lost on this. When itΒ΄s recognised as text I can tell "Italic" even when the font is not installed with Inkscape1.3alpha. Otherwise find an alternative font which includes "Italic" derivate.

    Another useful tool for imported text is Text>Remove manual kerns.

    Nevermind, I've found an italic variant of the font
