Another highlight in Phase 3 is the Type Setting Mode. This mode allows on canvas editing of a number of text properties, as well as #SVG character transforms. With this, people will be able to do advanced typographic spacing, taking full advantage of SVG's strengths.

I wrote a blogpost about everything I did in Phase 3. With this the text tool will be feature complete. This is a project that started in March 2022, and with Krita 5.3 slated to be released in February 2026, this will have been a 4 year project. A colleague of mine described text layout as a hydra, and said it felt as if with every update I did, I was chopping off a head. I hereby declare the Hydra dead: Krita has a proper text tool now. https://wolthera.info/2025/11/text-tool-phase-3/
