@Shelton719

give your text a stroke
convert the stroke to path
perform Break Apart path operation, Reduce the opacity to 25(so that the overlapping paths could be identified)
Remove unwanted parts(the outer and lighter parts)
for complex paths like 'A', 'O' remove the innermost and outermost path.
select all the other paths and combine them(perform combine path operation) and bring the opacity back to 100



you can use this method to make texts thin or thick(by discarding the inner paths and keeping the outer paths)

you can also use this method to draw 2 concentric shapes with uniform distance between them(i always use this method rather than uniform scaling, it does not produce the result you expect if all sides of the shape is not the same and its much easier than manual scaling)
