The new font function will save so many lives.

[ratudeglobalenterprise]

Thanks for the update and will be glad if CMYK is incorporated for easy printing

[TheIcthyosaur]

The unified font browser is definite need to have. I am glad it is being addressed in this release. The filter preview will definitely give me more ease and freedom to explore what the other filters do. Thanks for the update.

[gojohnniegogo]

Yeah using fonts in Inkspace is quite the challenge. These improvements look a pretty big step forward

[MarcosPaulo-ntff]

This update seems really nice! Hope we can have native CMYK now 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[TechieSewing]

Thank you for the quick update! I'm excited about the font browser too.

Neat, I can't wait to test the final stable version. Go team Inkscape ^_^

[Kaycii.Austine]

I am solely grateful and thankful to everyone behind Inkscape for such a great work thus far and this new beta release... I am loving it.

Thanks Nicks for the quick reviews of what we will be getting in this Inkscape version 1.4

[SomeGuyInSandy]

Loving the font browser! Thanks for the heads up!

[LeoPlaw]

Ever since Adobe killed Macromedia Freehand (back in the distant past) I've been a loyal Inkscape user. It simply keeps improving and has become quite a beast.

2:22 It's nice to see there's an actual browser for fonts now, but I had a work-around for this in v1.3 by clicking the text element, typing "t", then clicking on the font in the upper left tool bar and using up and down arrows to preview different fonts in my design. Glad you covered the new stuff in Inkscape 1.4 beta. The filter manager really brings out the beauty of the hidden filter system.

WOW... I am a pure hobbyist. Learning any new software take time, something I have very little of at most. So that new grid and text stuff is great news for me. Thank you so much, best wishes.

The filters and the font selection ooooh I'm excited! 😁

[yogiest]

The UI feels more like corel draw. But I love it much better than previous version.

[franknord]

Finally, useful font selection again! Before Inkscape had the current font selector, it had one without a font preview, but in which you could just click and then use arrow keys to change the text to another font to immediately see what your text looked like. That they deprecated that one has been my main pain point for years now and I'm glad we're finally getting one with preview *and* cursor key navigation.

Also, shoutout for the League of Movable Type fonts. :D

[globalren]

The new filters and font browser look great.

[robb]

The new font browser is fabulous. Great for sign work.

[derpderp]

modular grids are a game changer! I needed that months ago, I'm so happy with how inkscape is evolving ❤

[hollowaykeanho]

wow, the font browsing is something really great!
