inkscape - How to fix non-uniform scaling?

Let's say I have text with non-uniform scaling:

Does Inkscape have an easy and quick way to fix non-uniform scaling? Of course, I can scale it manually, but I'm looking for a quick and precise method.

Answer

If you want to revert a transformation (scale, rotation, skew) of any object back to its origina state, you have remove the transform matrix associated with the object.

This can be done in 2 ways:

1. Select the object


2. Open the XML editor ("<>" toolbar icon).


3. The svg:text element (or whatever object you selected) should have a transform attribute.



4. Delete this attribute.

2nd method:

1. Select the object.


2. Object -> Transform


3. Go to the Matrix tab.


4. Check the Edit current matrix option.


5. Press the Clear button to reset the matrix.


6. Press Apply.
