That's right, I can handle it. You should be warned, however, that as far as I know, there are two practical ways of embedding html in a custom component. One is through mozilla gtkmozembed and the other is gtkhtml; both would represent additional dependencies. Actually, i was going this way by the knowledge i get from my Gimp > Manual contribution.

Moving xsl processing to the program sounds great to me. How could i try your browser ? I could give you feedback on how i could > use it ans may work together on it, this way. No problem. The biggest trouble I foreesee right now is the part of compiling the cpp code, I'm not that good with Automake, so I will provide two short shell-scripts for compiling and linking, until something better can be done.

How > is build yours. > > Cedric (IRC = pygmee) As I noted earlier, the program is made using pygtk, a GTK binding for Python. Inkscape is already (strongly) dependent on Gtk, and almost on Python, but pygtk would be another dependency (perhaps the help browser can be kept as an optional part, too). Then a few lines of C++ code make possible the interaction of python+gtk with the Inkscape svg viewer widget. All that can be re-coded completely in C++, but that difficults development a lot, and would end up in poorer results for the same ammount of work. Content info is represented by a tree, which nodes are added to that tree from Contributor objects. Each node encapsulates a key, the title of the document, an uri, the see-also stuff and a list of keyword phrases for indexing. Contributor objects are responsible of gathering entries from different sources. So, a Contributor might know about the tutorials, and other Contributor might be responsabilized of scanning the extensions directory for documentation of individual extensions.

crashy fonts on windows
by bulia byak 29 May '06

29 May '06

There has been 3 independent reports of crashes with some fonts on Windows: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1496795&group_… https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1495807&group_id=… https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1494337&group_id=… At least 2 of them are Pango errors, and I suspect the third one is as well. On Linux these fonts seem to work fine. The problem is that now it crashes as soon as you open the drop-down in the text toolbar, because of auto previews. Previously it only crashed if you clicked specifically on that font in Font dialog list. So now Inkscape _seems_ much more crashy. And judging by the number of the reports, this is going to be a really major problem. What do we do? Disable previews in drop-down until this is fixed? This is the easiest thing to do, and of course only a partial solution (it will still crash if you select that font). Or, try to find out what these fonts have in common (something encoding related I guess) and just disable all such fonts. Or, (most difficult) fix this bug in Pango and ship our own Pango dll (as we do) with this fix. Thoughts? -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

About screen for Inkscape 0.44?
by Bryce Harrington 29 May '06

29 May '06

Quick question - do we have an about screen arranged for 0.44? If so, this'd be a good time to add it to svn. If not, we better get a hustle on selecting one. ;-) Bryce

Humm, I see there is a SP_VERB_HELP_ABOUT_EXTENSIONS constant in the pre-release source code of Inkscape, so somebody ia planning to add a documentation subsystem for extensions, right. What exactly it would be?
