>>Each time I try I get a small empty rectangle instead of the character. I tested available builds back to the end of December, they're all broken. So probably this was never fixed except on linux. I don't know if it's worth trying to fix this particular bug, or perhaps we should work towards Pangofication instead, which will likely fix this and other font problems on windows. >>I am also getting the error message shown in the attached file.

crash in IntLigne::Copy on windows
by bulia byak 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Fred, SF tracker is down so I'm writing you directly with another bug :) Since after 23rd, Inkscape on Windows started to crash when doing node editing or freehand drawing. The crash is not instantaneous, but it 100% happens after a few motions. Freehand crashes while you're still drawing a line which is not yet finalized, so this crash has to do with ctrlline rendering and not the regular renderer. Here's the backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0059ea5d in IntLigne::Copy(int, BitLigne**) () (gdb) bt #0 0x0059ea5d in IntLigne::Copy(int, BitLigne**) () #1 0x00590b08 in nr_pixblock_render_bpath_rgba(Shape*, unsigned, NRRectL&, char *, int) () #2 0x0058fe7b in sp_canvas_bpath_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #3 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #4 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #5 0x004663c8 in sp_canvas_group_render(_SPCanvasItem*, SPCanvasBuf*) () #6 0x004692e0 in sp_canvas_paint_rect(_SPCanvas*, int, int, int, int) () #7 0x004694ab in paint(_SPCanvas*) () #8 0x004676a7 in idle_handler(void*) () #9 0x00c5c865 in ??

() #14 0x00401b36 in sp_main_gui(int, char const**) () #15 0x00401902 in main () If you can't reproduce this and need more info, let me know, I can look up anything in gdb for you. Also there's another (less critical) bug on the visibility of handle lines in node edit, please see in the tracker. Simarilius: You can find a Windows binary of gdb at http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml, highly recommended. _________________________________________________________________ Find a broadband plan that fits.

Vector Aesthetics Presentation
by Jonathan Phillips 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hello All, I'm giving another presentation that kinda involves Inkscape at UC Berkeley on April 04, 2004. Please see http://art.berkeley.edu/040404/ if you are interested in attending. It should be very interesting. The event is free I believe and has food and whatnot. I will post info on the talk to the WIKI shortly. It is an overview of a framework I'm calling Vector Aesthetics. I will only discuss post-Bezier art/design/etc at the talk, but will end with Inkscape short-note. Anyone seeking help, or wants to have a little mini-meeting in the area, then please stop into that talk. Jon -- Jon Phillips Graduate Researcher Visual Arts Department PO BOX 948667 LA JOLLA, CA USA cell.858.361.2811 jon@...247... http://www.jonphillips.info

How to get up-to-date PO/POT files
by Arpad Biro 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hi, How can the current PO/POT files be obtained/generated? (I mean, files that contain the very latest English strings.) Are they updated automatically or do we have to update them by hand?

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Gradient Meshes

>>When these things are done, I will be almost happy. It will be relatively >>easy then to emulate most meshes, fields, etc. by overlaying >>semitransparent elliptic gradients. > >How does that follow? Nobody has shown how to transform a gradient mesh >into a gradient field (a very good name actually). I'm not a mathematician; I'm a designer. I think I can approximate well enough (for design purposes) most useful meshes using ellipses, and a still better approximation is possible with blurred strokes of blur filter on shapes. See the current about.svg for a crude example. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfee� Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

>I think we're best off providing UI to utilize the features we do have >from SVG; And from Sodipodi. It's amazing how much stuff we can render but lack creation tools for. Bitmap fills, patterns, masks, clones (svg:use), multistage gradients... All we need for these is just UI and some bugfixing, and voila. This should be one of the main directions of Inkscape development IMHO. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Error on Inkscape web pages
by Alan Horkan 28 Mar '04

I thought you might want to fix this immediately so I'm mailing it to the list rather than filing a bug at the top of every page on the inkscape site is the following error message: Warning: open(/tmp/sess_8fbb6e7c1573df58b634cba6b111355e, O_RDWR) failed: No space left on device (28) in /home/groups/i/in/inkscape/inkscape_web/includes/header.php on line 6 - Alan

This is likely unrelated, please file a separate bug. I also noticed that saving with non-ascii filenames on windows does not work (I will file this too). Did it ever work, or was it only fixed/tested on linux? _________________________________________________________________ Free yourself from those irritating pop-up ads with MSn Premium.
