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.

@Wolthera wow, that's amazing! Me and sibling are sending our sincere congratulations! Going to use it a lot! (Sibling hopes to move comic translation fully to krita, I hope to be able to make my own comic with less spoons available)

@Wolthera marking February 2026 on my calendar! Been looking forward to 5.3 for about a year now so it's highly anticipated! Thanks for all the work you have done on it! ❤️
