To those folks that believe the Premium service is needed to use the GF machine: I find using Inkscape to be infinitely preferrable than the GF Premium interface for almost everything. Especially font selection. Futzing around with the GF Premium fonts is painful by comparison. The GF fonts are not recognizable versions that folks are used to from other design programs. And figuring out which font to use is very time consuming. The user needs to select a font based on a brief example, type the desired text, select a new font, select a new font, etc. In Inkscape you can type the text and very quickly scroll through the available fonts as quickly as you can press the down arrow key. Much more convenient. Here is a screen capture of the process.
My point is that so much more is possible by not depending on the GF Premium editing capabilities. I might decide to purchase the Premium but would only use it as a secondary function. It’s worth it to spend an hour or so to learn the basic functions in free Inkscape.
