This goes to the wishlist. When we plan the new vector engine for Krita 3.1, I hope we can make it possible to adjust letter spacing and line spacing in Mutipleline text tool. They are essential for flexible typography. GIMP has these abilities, but unfortunately they are plagued by using libfreetype/fontconfig settings directly from system//OR//$HOME, bringing up so much intricacies. I hope we don't make the same mistakes! Reproducible: Always
Well, this is part of the plan for the new text tool.
Here's the phabricator task for the text tool rewrite: https://phabricator.kde.org/T1004
Great! Looking forward to the implementation! Although I haven't seen any description of your plan about ling/letter spacing.
