Entry submitted to the Free Software Directory
by Felix Rabe 15 Jan '05

15 Jan '05

Hi, I just found this page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/for-windows.html>. It lists - not Inkscape, no, BUT - Sodipodi. I reckon this comes from Inkscape not being listed in the Free Software Directory <http://directory.fsf.org/>. I've just submitted a request to add an entry for Inkscape. I listed Bryce Harrington <you_know_your_email@...643... ;o)> as the maintainer and developer. The keyword list brings me to the suggestion of not just mentioning "open source editor", but also "free software editor" in the HTML keywords. Just a suggestion... Greetings, Felix

[Fwd: Announcing liboil-0.3.0 - Library of Optimized Inner Loops]
by Ted Gould 13 Jan '05

Hmm, does someone who knows more about the renderer think this would help out Inkscape? Seems better than the MMX flag. --Ted -------- Forwarded Message -------- > From: David Schleef <ds@...641...> > To: gnome-multimedia@...45... > Subject: Announcing liboil-0.3.0 - Library of Optimized Inner Loops > Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 15:06:35 -0800 > Announcing liboil-0.3.0 - Library of Optimized Inner Loops > > Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for > various CPUs.

line-height
by David Christian Berg 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Since this came up in some thread, that there was a problem about knowing the line height in flowtext, I tried to dig up what ever I could find about it. If I understand correctly, the line-height in SVG is supposed to be defined via the line-height css attribute just like as in html. The property index at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/propidx.html links to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#propdef-line-height . I might be getting something totally wrong (probably I am, because I'm not sure, how you could have missed this), but to me it seems, that this is actually, how the line-height is defined for svg as well. I'll do some more research on this, if needed. I'd really like to see flow-text in 0.41, you see. David

Hi, I remember some other approach by Bulia except this one: http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ObjectManager Is it the most recent mockup to start with? Anything changed since then? Alexandre

I would like to see it fixed before the release; a high-priority bug ought to be filed if one has not been already. -mental

changing font size within text
by David Christian Berg 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

Hey guys, just wondering, if there's a way to change the font size within a <text> element. Basically I guess I need a <tspan> but they create new lines, which I don't want. Thanx in advance! David

Re: SVG presentation tool (fwd)

Ashwin, Cairo also has a SVG presentation type tool. Here's some info on it.

Yes, the tool was 'xsvg'; our simple svg viewer application which can be found in cairo CVS. It's far from a complete presentation tool, but it suffices for our needs. We use an xslt transformation to convert a simple slide xml format into svg. All of that is in cairo-artwork module. It's quite broken and has to be hacked extensively to restyle it for a new talk. -keith
