Manually italic fonts inkscape

Question

In the Transfer-Mode (CTRL+t) in Photoshop i can hold CTRL and drag the Edge of my font element to get it italic.

Answer 2

Have a look here:

1. Select the text using the Create and Edit text tool (F8).

2. Press Ctrl + I to italicise. If your font does not come with italics, this just skews the font as desired.
