Initial text font not the same for root and regular users
by mathog 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

On my Ubuntu system, if inkscape is run by root, after wiping out the ~/.config/inkscape directory, it comes up with "sans-serif" as the default font, and that is what is stored in ~/.config/inkscape/preferences.xml. When the same thing is done from a regular user account it comes up as "Sans", and that goes into preferences.xml instead. For the life of me I can't see why this happens, since unless I'm missing something the protections on all of the font directories are set world readable, and the results for both accounts for fc-list | grep -i sans and fc-list | grep -i serif and fc-match 'sans-serif' are identical. Sans is also strange because it isn't present elsewhere in the font list, only at the top, above the divider line. I understand that means there isn't actually a "Sans" font on the machine, and that fontconfig is picking something else to fill in that space, but still looks odd. Anyway, this also makes me wonder if when Inkscape hits a font like "sans-serif", which on my system only shows the "normal" type, the pull down list should look like: normal (black) italics (grayed out and not selectable) bold (grayed out and not selectable) bold-italics (grayed out and not selectable) Other special types that are present in some fonts (condensed) can be added, and the end user probably will never notice when they are missing, but a font format list that does not include the standard ones looks strange to me.

GUI for feCompoentTransfer
by Tavmjong Bah 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi, Inkscape can render the feComponentTransfer primitive but cannot create or modify the primitive. I've hacked a GUI for the primitive and would appreciated if those knowledgeable in such things could have a look at the code and test it out. One thing that doesn't work is updating the rendering when the 'type' value is changed. I don't see how to connect a signal to force a rendering update. Ideally, the GUI for this primitive would look a bit like the GIMP "Curves" dialog but that is for another day. The code can be downloaded at: lp:~inkscape.dev/inkscape/component Thanks, Tav

DockBehavior::set_sensitive
by Johan Engelen 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi all, Who knows something about Dialogs and DockBehavior? There is this piece of code in /ui/dialog/dock-behavior.cpp: void DockBehavior::set_sensitive(bool sensitive) { // TODO check this. Seems to be bad that we ignore the parameter get_vbox()->set_sensitive(); } The code has not been touched for a long while. Hope someone can help me clean it up. If you know how to test this part, just change it to get_vbox()->set_sensitive(); and see if it breaks (or fixes!) anything. If not, go ahead and commit it. Thanks, Johan

Could we add an Enable background template to the list ?
by Ivan Louette 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hello, Happy new year to all Inkscape developpers ! I think that could be a good idea to add an "Enable Background" template to the list for those who want play with this feature and test all SVG filter effects blend possibilities. That would be a good solution to make it easily available. ivan

Fwd: Printers

2014/1/2 Randy Ruggeri <randy@...3070...>: > Hi, I've been using Inkscape now for about 2 months. I’m creating graphic > intense greeting cards and I’m looking for a high quality printer. I was > wondering if you could give me any recommendations. Thanks Hello Randy, This mailing list is intended for discussion related to the development of Inkscape. I don't think this is the best place to look for advice on buying printers. You should ask this question in a user forum, like this one: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/ That being said, if you are looking for an entry-level printer, I can offer you one tip: look for inkjet printers where the printing head is separate from the ink cartridges (I know that most printers by Canon use this design). They are a lot cheaper in the long run, because it is easier to find low cost generic ink catridges for them. Regards, Krzysztof Kosinski

Dangerous code in widgets/icon
by Johan Engelen 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi all, Just found a case of duplicate variable naming that looks very error-prone. In IconImpl::imageMapNamedCB in src/widgets/icon.cpp, line 1617, variable iconName appeared twice, so I renamed the second case so it is clear what the compiler is doing. Also a near duplicate naming (size and iconSize) caused for buggy code. It all worked because I think the two variables are filled with the same data, the functions appears to be doing the same work twice (getting the icon info). Finally, there is also a pointer comparison in the code. (should be a string comparison?) Have a look at my changes in rev. 12870. I hope someone who knows that piece of code better can have a look, see if the code is doing what is intended, and fix the pointer comparison. Thanks, Johan
