win32 build working again
by Bob Jamison 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

non-Unicode symbol fonts do not work on Windows. Bug 165665. Do we need the flag USE_PANGO_WIN32 ?
by Alvin Penner 09 May '15

09 May '15

ref : https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/165665 I believe this bug can be fixed by disabling the flag USE_PANGO_WIN32 in line 19 of src/libnrtype/FontFactory.h. When I do this on Windows XP, I gain about 35 new fonts. Not all of these new fonts are useable, but the most interesting ones, such as CommercialPi, Symbol, Technic, Webdings, Wingdings, MonoType Sorts, TechnicLite are working well, both in Inkscape and in IE9. This is a Windows-specific bug which hides symbol fonts, and does not occur in Gimp 2.6 on Win XP. As far as I can tell, the Gimp source code does not contain any analogue or equivalent of the flag USE_PANGO_WIN32. Would there be any objection if I disable this flag, or does it serve a specific purpose that is essential? tia - Alvin Penner -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/non-Unicode-symbol-fonts-do-not-work-on-Windows.-Bug-… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Help testing SpiroLive
by Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz 20 Dec '12

Hello, I update the SpiroLive branch to redraw spiro when mouse stop, no gaps now. In my 5 years old computer -debian- spiro redraw ok, now better whith the tolerance fix. If isn't enoft we can increase the tolerance level. Less tolerance show more fluid spiros, more tolerance spiro curve "jumps" more. I dont want to add a botton to show optionaly, because i think this function is basic while drawing, but if we decide to make optional y start whith this. Any more betatester ;) ?

It looks like I may be able to package Inkscape in a dmg. The procedure is refreshed version of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/inkscape-quartz It has been compiled on Moutain Lion (64 bits) from trunk. You should be able to give is a spin from: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49834266/Inkscape.dmg Let me know if it works for you and/or if it is worth pushing this further. Regards, -Gellule

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Understand Code

I am sorry, I know the question is vague. But, I am new to inkscape development and owing very little in-code commenting and guiding sections, the project seems to intimidating and big to understand by sheer hit-and-trial. Till now I have figured out this: 1.) src\dialog contains all dialog boxes' codes. I happen to have fixed a bug recently, Bug-773228. during the course to figure it out, I understood "dialog" contents. 2.) Your direction tells me, "display" is handling the rendering part. 3.) The "widget" directory happens to handle basic functionality types land tools. I really don't know what I need right now, but I was looking for a general understanding of how the code handles what to render on the canvas and then save it there and still enable editing. Maybe you mean, the code is abstracted onto Cairo's code, so we need not get behind the curtain. If that being the case, I would like to know, is there any general source for me understand these workings ? Sorry, if the questions are stupid, I am not that bad at understanding code in general, but without any kind of documentation and help it becomes a little obscure. -Arshdeep On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 8:51 PM, Jasper van de Gronde <th.v.d.gronde@...528...> wrote: > On 29-10-12 10:57, Arshdeep Singh wrote: >> Can you shed some light on SP Classes ? > > Can you be more explicit about what you want to know? > >> Also, where can I get to know what inputs are passed on from Inkscape >> code to Cairo for various purposes like when I'm drawing a bezier or a >> rectangle ? > > I think you are probably more interested in the src/display directory, > as that's where the actual drawing is done (or Cairo is called at > least).

Hey All, I'm happy to announce that Tavmjong Bah & Johan Engelen have been elected and have accepted their positions on the board. A few people had voted off-lists, however, it does not affect the results in the end (they actually had more votes including those). So, to Johan & Tav, congratulations and welcome aboard! :) Cheers, Josh

Build broken (gtkm 2_24)...
by Johan Engelen 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

Hi all, I just fixed the windows build. With the current devlibs, we need "#define WITH_GTKMM_2_24". If this is not correct than please revert devlibs first. Verify the revert using the online launchpad tool, then fix build.xml. Ciao, Johan
