text doesnt show when typing only black fill with small square in it

Thank you for the help, however, this did nothing when I clicked on show/hide, all boxes for tools, bars, etc, are checked. Looking back and trying to remember what I did, I might have set whatever I did as default. Is there any way to delete that default and get back to Inkscape original default.

Perhaps the stroke width is too large?
Try removing the stroke of the text (open Fill+Stroke dialog with Ctrl+Shift+F, then in the second tab, click on the x to remove the stroke) - if needed, you can add a fill by clicking on the first square in the first tab of the dialog.

Thanks TylerDurden, that solved my question.

thanks hachmann  that did it    sorry got my guys mixed up     only problem now is, inkscape reverts back to my black box when i open it again    is there any way to make stroke width small by default so i dont have to keep reducing it    thanks again
