Windows Hassles HELP!. was " Updated PDF printing with Cairo"
by Erik Halbert 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Bob, and others, I am having nasty problems with current Inkscape downloads. I will be happy to know that I may be doing something stupid but I do not know what it is. The problems have been gnawing away for a couple of weeks but it was only within the last few days that I've had time to take a close look. I have done a fair bit of checking today and found: Problem 1. I freshly downloaded 0.44-1-win32.exe and set it up etc, and it works fine. The about screen says it was built on June 23 and the Inkscape.exe file size is 5832K. I brought down the Daily Build LATEST.EXE file 0607162003 from Mirrored Win32 builds. When I set it up it says it was built on June 15, with an .exe file size of 5822K. It works OK but I read that as saying that it is an older version and certainly not a July 16 build. Similarly the LATEST.EXE file 0607300220 opens up saying it was also built on June 15, with an exe file size of 5822K. This suggests to me that these LATEST.EXE files are only updated in name. Something seems broke in da woodpile. Problem 2. I have downloaded Bobs full size Inkscape versions 0607141303, 0607281436, and 0607300736. Each unzips and opens OK but then gives the error messages that I mentioned a day or so ago, and then borks. The exe file sizes are an orderly 6888K, 6994K and 7002K and the built dates are July 9, July 26 and July 30. This suggests to me that Bobs versions are current - wonderful, I love them-if only they would run for me. Bobs suggestion of removal or modification of Inkscape.dat don't make no difference. The sum of this appears to me that my most recent Inkscape is July 23 and that I'm stuck on this. What to do? Erik

Hi Bob, I've done some reinstalling and more checking. 1. Version 0.44-1 works perfectly. 2. Your versions 0607141303, 0607281436, and 0607300736 reinstalled, all show the reported error messages. 3. I copied the Inkscape.exe files of these versions into 0.44-1 and they again show the error messages. 4. LATEST-EXE files from Daniels site were obtained for 0607162003 and 0607300220. The exe files from these do not show the error messages when put into 0.44-1. I changed the Inkscape.dat file as you instructed but that did not seem to affect things. Same error messages.. I noted that the Inkscape.exe files of your versions are in the range 6888 to 7002, whereas Daniels versions and 0.44-1 are smaller at 5800 to 5900. Don't know if that is relevent or not. regards, Erik

Updated PDF printing with Cairo
by Miklós Erdélyi 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Hi, I attached the updated PDF printing extension with Cairo. Now it has proper transparency handling and better text handling. Also, now it has it's own entry in the Save As dialog as "Cairo PDF". In order to use it you have to apply the following patch to Cairo 1.2: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2006-July/007477.htm Without applying the patch you will get only fallback images most of the time. I already separated the patch into smaller ones and submitted it to be incorporated into Cairo. The resulting text output in this version differs from that of Inkscape's regarding the positioning of glyphs. Text printed in PDF will usually occupy more space horizontally/vertically than as it can be seen in Inkscape. This is especially true for vertical text in which case spaces are smaller between words. Does anyone have an idea how I could get the exact glyph positions used by libnrtype to render glyphs? [I could only come up with crazy ideas like calling Layout::show with a prepared nr_arena and then extracting the glyphs later from that nr_arena] Unfortunately the output of the about screen for Inkscape version 0.40 isn't correct; it might be because of the mess with transparency inheritance. After applying patch.bin to the Inkscape source tree copy the other files in the archive to their respective location and do the usual build process. Please feel free to try it out and report your experience on the list. Regards, miklos

Rendering patch committed
by bulia byak 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

All, I committed the patch by Jasper van de Gronde which improves the quality of rendering gradients (less banding). But on top of that, the committed version also speeds up rendering quite significantly, making it up to twice as fast in my tests (on complex files with many transparency overlays). Unfortunately for some reason, this speedup is observed only on Windows, whereas on Linux the patch is actually a little slower (by no more than 10%). Any ideas on why this is so will be appreciated, as well as of course any reports of bugs or any misbehavior. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

The Fedora Core 3 thing
by donn 29 Jul '06

29 Jul '06

Aaron, Ralf, Bob and other posters, Thanks for all the information. I get the following general idea: Linux is much more complex than Windows, making it very difficult (I think Bob Jameson is implying that it is impossible) to (in the case of inkscape) create a tar.gz open-and-run solution. I am more than ready to be shown when I am wrong and I came to this with a certain attitude; one of not wanting to keep upgrading often, and so my mind was fixed on the examples given by Firefox, Thunderbird and Blender. I can run all of those apps, even the alpha versions, on my FC3 with no problems. In the case of Firefox, the tar.gz is my *only* option becuase FC3 does not support any version over like 1.0.x I am not as savvy on things like make and svn and C and C++ and all these newfangled (to me) incantations. It would take me months to get a fraction of the picture into my (very dim) head. So, I came here with a certain naive outlook, one of simply dropping-in the needed library files such that inkscape would run for me; and then sharing that with others who might be stuck too. I am going to focus some time on trying to compile 0.44.1 (I do read Ralf!) In the meanwhile I will hope that DAG or EXTRAS might have 0.44.1 as an RPM before long. Thanks all for a great app! Regards, Donn. ------------Sceptic Snippets:-- "As an anecdote, I have a childhood friend who has taken over her parents' importing/distribution business, which specializes in commercialized altmed products, based on TCM.

If you read my repost you will see I added some stuff at the front. I acknowledged the reply from ralf in there. The thing is I don't hold much hope that 0.44.1 or whatever, is going to compile with much luck. My Fedora version is a little old and keeping up with dependant libs is a problem. So, if there is someone who can help with: a. The autopackage problem or b. An RPM for FC3 or c. Some discussion relating to my last question about inkspace vs Firefox/Thunderbird Donn.
