    I have been using Inkscape (v1.3.2) for a while but then I starting getting a strange format to text that I have added using the Text Tool. The attached is an example of Arial Normal 12 pt, but it is barely legible because it is "bloated". What can be causing this?

    Thanks

    Seems Inkscape added accidentally a Stroke to the font. Get rid of it.

    Most likely a stroke has been applied to the text, select the text and Shift-click big red X bottom-left of Inkscape screen to turn it off.

    I am not sure why the stroke is being applied to my text, but even though I click on the big red X (which works to elininate the stroke), I have to always get rid of it when starting a new file or edit an existing file. Is there a setting where it is perhaps set as a default?

    Type some text, ensure it has fill and no stroke.

    Go to Preferences > Tools >Text  Tool and select Style of new objects - This tool's own style
