Ya, that's it! Sorry, I meant kerning for GIMP, I wrote my question too fast. And what about underlining or italizing or having multiple colours and fonts in a text box? Seems sort of ridiculous that these are not default and you're force to use multiple text boxes for it.

That's it, thanks. Ctrl + Shift + T... I never would have guessed. To me, Inkscape's interface is so extremelly unintuitive that I get lost very easily.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading

In typography, leading (pronounced /ˈlɛdɪŋ/, rhymes with heading) refers to the amount of added vertical spacing between lines of type. In consumer-oriented word processing software, this concept is usually referred to as "line spacing".

If you haven't already, watch the screencast tutorials at http://screencasters.heathenx.org/ to learn inkscape. I just started playing with inkscape a few weeks ago, and I probably would have stopped quickly if it weren't for those screencasts.
