by Bob Jamison 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.

undo: writing to XML during load
by Johan Engelen 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi all, We have a problem with the LPE-system writing to XML *during* the load process. When loading an SVG with path effects, you can do an undo operation that bugs. Upon loading a file, all effects get recalculated, because of "path_set" being the same for initialization and changes. Can we fix the situation by simply (re-)initializing the undo system *after* a file has been fully loaded? Cheers, Johan

It is pretty cool to be announcing the 0.48.4 release of Inkscape. It's a great bug fix release, which will hopefully tide people over until the upcoming 0.49. There are a ton of bug fixes in this release including one security fix, so it is recommended that everyone currently using 0.48.3 or older upgrade tho this release.
