Thank you, Inkscape opens the documents in the Tahoma font, which is
perfectly legible. However, saving back as pdf ruins the letter
spacing as you mention, yet, removing the manual kerns does not help.
Also, this only saves the first page of the document.
1) Is there another way to change the letter spacing? Even selecting
the entire document and then selecting a specific font did not help
with letter spacing.
2) Can Inkscape work with more than a single page? I have 20
documents, 10 pages on average each, and the test is next week!
Thanks!

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
