Workflow

  • make line text (find better text maker?)
    • Extensions, render, hershey text
    • tweak shapes
  • stroke style
    • line thickness = bit * 2.1 (2 to be exact, add .1 to have some space)
    • use rounded joins and caps
  • scale/tweak so there are gaps where need to be
  • stroke to path
  • fill none, stroke yes
  • new path strokestyle, round join and cap, width of bit
  • fix distances of letters
  • redo stroke to path
  • break apart, delete, recombine as necessary
  • fix/tweak
