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

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

nightly builds issue

Hi, I have a problem compiling Inkscape from nightly builds in GNU/Linux: after ./configure: --- Configuration: Source code location: . Destination path prefix: /usr/local Compiler: g++ CPPFLAGS: CXXFLAGS: -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -g -O2 LDFLAGS: Use Xft font database: yes Use gnome-print: no Use openoffice files: yes Use MMX optimizations: yes Use relocation support: no --- I do: --- [avp@...33... inkscape-0.40cvs]$ make make: *** No rule to make target `configure.in', needed by `Makefile.in'. Stop. --- I have: [avp@...33... scribus-1.3.0cvs]$ rpm -qa | grep auto | sort autoconf_2.5-2.59-alt3 autoconf-common-0.2-alt1 automake_1.6-1.6.3-alt6 automake_1.7-1.7.9-alt1 automake_1.8-1.8.5-alt1 automake-common-0.2-alt1 I don't have that problem with usual CVS snapshot I get with cvs up -Pd, but I don't have a possibility to grab CVS myself very often. What could be reason for that error message? Alexandre
