svg and music/symbol fonts
by Jan Nieuwenhuizen 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hi there, I'm implementing SVG output for LilyPond, but I cannot get Inkscape to display LilyPond's custom feta music font. As the font does not have a unicode mapping and uses a custom/fontSpecific encoding I would expect Inkscape to map the characters onto the unicode PUA. Alas, that does seem not happen. This is what Sodipodi does (but Sodipodi has other font problems). Can I instruct Inkscape to map this font to the 0xe000 area, and how? Possibly by fixing the fonts.cache-1 listing, or adding an SVG text style attribute? Attached is a small LilyPond svg output and the LilyPond-feta 20 font. Greetings, Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <janneke@...570...> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org

[Announcing] SFMOMA: The Open-Source Paradigm, Thursday, November 18, 2004
by Jon Phillips 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hey all, I wanted to alert you to a panel I'm on next week in San Francisco. Needless to say it is going to be major PR in the art world for Inkscape and Open Clip Art Library. If anyone is in the area, it would be a great event to attend. I'm also excited because the number 2 person at creativecommons (under lessig) is on the panel. Please forward the following PR below: ### On Thursday, November 18, 2004, SFMOMA (www.sfmoma.org) presents: The Open-Source Paradigm ======================== A Panel Discussion & Reception Moderated by Linda Jacobson, featuring new media professor Greg Niemeyer (http://art.berkeley.edu/niemeyer/) from UC Berkeley, artist-developer Jon Phillips (www.rejon.org), and Creative Commons (www.creativecommons.org) assistant director Neeru Paharia. 7:00 p.m. in the Phyllis Wattis Theater Visual artists and sound artists who create with digital tools have started to embrace the community-based, open-source software approach that's revolutionized the computer industry. As a reaction to the restrictions of intellectual property rights, the Open Source Initiative provides free computer software via the Web and allows anyone to contribute software as long as the underlying source codes are visible and shared. Explorations of the creative applications of open-source promise to expand its use beyond software development. This panel discusses the conceptual basis for the open-source movement in the arts, its history, and legal issues and presents artistic projects incorporating open-source technology. A reception in The Schwab Room follows the program. $12 general; $8 SFMOMA members, students with ID, and seniors. Tickets are available at SFMOMA (with no surcharge) or online. This event is presented in collaboration with SMAC (San Francisco Media Arts Council). Please visit www.sfmoma.org for press coverage of previous SMAC/SFMOMA event on videogames' impact on artists featuring pioneers Will Wright and Nolan Bushnell -- Jon Phillips KOREA.PH.010.3140.7483 USA.PH.858.361.2811 jon@...235... http://www.rejon.org Inkscape (http://inkscape.org) Open Clip Art Library (www.openclipart.org) CVS Book (http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu) Scale Journal (http://scale.ucsd.edu)

GC debugging
by MenTaLguY 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

I've comitted some code which lets you select the GC implementation at runtime for debugging purposes. Basically, you can set the _INKSCAPE_GC environment variable to one of the following values: * enable - use the normal garbage-collected allocator (default) * debug - track additional debugging information[1] and detect certain types of heap corruption[2] * disable - use standard malloc in place of the GC allocator[3] _INKSCAPE_GC=disable mostly replaces the --disable-gc ./configure option, which has been removed. -mental --- [1] for example, you can trace the path of references from an object to a GC root, to debug problems like an object mysteriously not getting collected [2] it can't detect all corruption, but makes an honest effort [3] it will leak memory fiercely, of course, since memory allocated with the standard allocator isn't automatically freed, but it's helpful for debugging sometimes
