Just a heads-up... there may be a few days delay in creating a pre3 Mac package -- I'm travelling in the US for work with very little spare time. Possibly JiHo or someone else could produce one in the meantime. Otherwise I will do it as soon as possible. For the same reason, I won't be able to properly look at the issue with Python extensions on Snow Leopard until I return to Australia next weekend and have access to a 10.6 machine. Cheers, Michael

mkNEWS broken
by Ted Gould 27 Sep '09

Hey, So I was trying to make a news file for the release, and we used to do that with packaging/mkNEWS -- but it seems to no longer work. I'm guessing it hasn't been ported to MediaWiki. Anyone with some MediaWiki interface fu that could look at the little script? Thanks, Ted

Can anyone verify bug 436304? https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/436304 I'm especially concerned with the aspect where bent paths from 0.46 will not successfully open in 0.47. Thanks.

Contact to the author of 0.47 about.svg

Hi there, I did some of the german translations for the upcoming release. There is a little issue, though. I would like to translate the about screen, which was drawn by "sko", but I have no idea what font is used there and how to apply the fancy shadow effect beneath "Draw freely". So, could anyone forward my email to the artist who created this very nice graphic? Or could you point me to where I might find his email adress? That would be great! Thanks in advance Alex P.S.: Sorry if this is the wrong mailing list, but I had the feeling that the developers are most likely to know the answer to my question.

Fill calligraphy outlined shapes automatically
by G33K 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Hi everyone, I'd like to use the calligraphy tool to draw outlines for a shape, and want to fill the initially transparent interior of that outline with a different color. The only solution I've found so far is to apply the "break apart" command, then select the inner shape and change its color manually. That's a lot of steps, which stops the flow of drawing. I've already found this extension which tries to solve the problem: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CalligraphedOutlineFill To lessen the number of manual steps, I'd like to automatically apply some similar logic after each calligraphy stroke, so that a calligraphy outline's inner shape can be filled immediately if it's drawn in one stroke. I think the following steps might suffice: * After a calligraphy brush stroke, apply "break apart" to the resulting object. * If the result is only one shape, then the calligraphy path isn't closed. * If there are several shapes, the one with the largest bounding box is the outline, all others are enclosed inner shapes and are filled in a different color. You could even maintain a history of successive calligraphy strokes, or search the object stack, until the "break apart" command produces more than one shape. My questions: * Is it somehow possible to automatically execute an extension like that after each calligraphy stroke? * Or is there a way to code this into Inkscape itself? * If yes, what would be the API calls for "break apart", and where would I have to insert that code to get it executed after a completed clligraphy stroke? * Is there maybe a similar extension or drawing tool feature that I could use as a model? (I posted this to the user list when I realized that it is probably more of a development question. Sorry for the double post.)

Hyphenation in Inkscape
by Santhosh Thottingal 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello, This is regarding a wishlist bug reported here; https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171140 I am writing an extension for hyphenating the text when it is justified. I have the first version ready to use for both English and Malayalam(ml_IN) and tested in Inkscape 0.46 in Debian Sid. It is available for testing here: http://thottingal.in/projects/inkscape/inkscape-hyphenation.zip It is on top of the python hyphenation code written by Wilbert Berendsen. The hyphenation rules, also called as patterns is TeX or Openoffice itself. There are a few more changes need to be done: a) Making the extension language independent: Loading all the patterns from a directory while initializing? Or is it okey to ask user to select the language? As of now I am doing a unicode range checking to differentiate between Malayalam and English. but it will be buggy for other languages. b) On GNU/Linux platforms can we point to the default hyphenation patterns directory of openoffice? Feedbacks are welcome. Thanks Santhosh Thottingal htt://thottingal.in

Fwd: [pdf-devel] CMap files freed
by the Adib 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

hope that can be for good use. Adib. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <jemarch@...570...> Date: Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 1:31 AM Subject: [pdf-devel] CMap files freed To: pdf-devel@...570... Very good news :) To: bug-ghostscript@...570... Subject: CMap files freed From: karl@...2251... (Karl Berry) Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:03:29 -0500 Didier and all, I believe GNU Ghostscript can finally include the CMap files now. I looked at the license and I believe it is fine; standard stuff. I haven't looked at the actual content to see if there are any differences from what Aladdin Ghostscript, et al., have been distributing. Best, karl Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:24:37 -0700 From: Ken Lunde <lunde@...720...> I would like to let you know that we just launched the "CMap Resources" open source project at Adobe, which puts all of our CMap resources under a more favorable open source license. Note that I excluded the Adobe-Japan2-0 CMap resources, because they have been in deprecated status ever since Adobe-Japan1-6 was released to completely cover JIS X 0212-1990. Anyway, you can get the details here: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/ When you have a chance, please notify the appropriate people in the open source community about this. I know that some of them have been asking us to provide our CMap resources under a more favorable license, and for them, that day has come. With best regards... -- Ken
