The time has arrived to apply for GSoC 2009. Since I haven't heard otherwise I'm assuming I will be the admin? I will be completing an organization app soon. Bryce, since you've held this role previously please verbally confirm that you are passing the torch. :-) Aaron Spike

snapping hints
by Alexandre Prokoudine 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

Hi, Snapping hints are awesome. However, there is one thing that worries me a lot about them: they are constructed with English syntax in mind. I foresee lots of complains from translators, including myself :) Take 'cusp node to cusp node' for example. It's fine for English, but in Russian these two 'cusp node' instances will be in different cases and thus have different case endings --- both 'cusp' and 'node'. Is there something we can do about that? Alexandre

recent change to packaging/macosx broke
by Ed Halley 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

In a recent commit, the file packaging/macosx/Resources/bin/inkscape was modified to support LaTeX files in the runtime path. This change broke the Inkscape.app invocation, due to a missing quotation mark. Review the delta with the link below. http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/packagin… Also, the new comment above the broken line is not indented in the same way that the other comments are indented. -- [ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Extensions-->Render-->LaTeX doesn't exist?
by Zulli, Louis P 05 Mar '09

Well, there's probably a better way to do this, but adding the line export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin just before exec "$CWD/bin/inkscape" "$@" in /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/script did the trick. Now I can start Inkscape.app by clicking its icon, without "losing" Render-->LaTeX. Note: I have pstoedit in /usr/local/bin, with latex and dvips in /usr/texbin. Without the added line, the value of PATH is only /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin, rather than the value of PATH in my login shell.

Thanks, JiHO. Apparently, if I start Inkscape by clicking on the Inkscape.app icon, then my PATH variable is not read. However, if I start Inkscape by typing /Applications/Contents/MacOS/Inkscape in Terminal, I do have Extensions-->Render-->LaTeX (and it seems to work correctly). Now I need to figure out why my first method failed.

I initially saw the same here = no Latex extension. Nothing has changed in the .inx file itself so my best guess is that something changed in the loading of extensions.

Removing the lines removes the check.

Creating fonts
by ryrych＠...400... 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

hello :) Guys, can you tell me how to create font with Inkscape? I use SVN version but can't see any menus/option for them. Maybe SVGFonts hasn't implemented yet? I've created my first font (rather vector objects yet) and I'd like to covert it to SVGFont and finally to truetype. How to deal with it? cheers, Wojtek

Extensions-->Render-->LaTeX doesn't exist?
by Zulli, Louis P 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I just installed the latest snapshot of Inkscape-20809-10.5-i386.dmg on my MacBook. There does not seem to be an option for including LaTeX formulas. With the stable version of Inkscape, I use the textext extension. However, I thought the ability to render LaTeX had now been built into Inkscape. Am I missing something, or is this feature not available yet? Thanks.
