I'm having trouble getting Times New Roman to display the same as the way it was set in Illustrator. The font-issue.jpg attachment shows the differences and the settings in Illustrator. ultra.svg is an Inkscape file with the problem text.

Thanks for any help!

You can't because strokes in Inkscape and CSS2 exist only in the center of the shape, you can achieve the same result if you use a second text underneath that will simulate the outer strokes.

Thanks much @Gnuserland. Your explanation inspired a search for inkscape outside border.

I found a method that relies on the Stroke Style dialogue. It's not exact but extremely close to the Illustrator version.

All of the Cap settings have the same result. The Bevel Join is slightly better than the other joins. The key is Order, and three of the settings as outlined in the attachment produced the same result.

I don't know if this is acceptably close to to what you want.

If you image a line which defines the shape. The stroke is centred on that line. The fill travels up to meet that line from the inside.

You change the stacking order of that stroke and fill. 

The join type determines if the corners are round / bevel / mitre

I have attached an svg, the red squares highlight he settings in the Object>Fill and Stroke>Fill and Stoke Style

[hmm, seems I can't upload svgs with embedded image] will make them separate.

Hey @inklinea. You pretty much hit on a similar solution to the one I posted above. I'm new here, so my message was delayed due to moderation. Thanks much!

Yep this is a new feat that I forgot since I used to work with the "old" method...
