SVGFonts oncanvas without pango userfont support?
by Felipe Sanches 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

this thread is meant to brainstorm the possibility of implementing SVGFonts rendering on canvas without use of libpango. Since libpango development of the userfonts feature is very slow (currently at 0% done), I would like to ask you to keep in mind the possibility of adding special cases for SVG Fonts in the font family selector and in the text rendering on canvas. I am not asking you (Milosz) to implement it. I just would like to be sure that you are aware of this need and, if possible, I would like to brainstorm a bit about what should we do to better integrate SVGFonts rendering on canvas even without pango support.

New OS X Package
by Milosz Derezynski 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Dear Inkscape team - it's a package. The package was built on 10.5 and is Intel only. The package was built from SVN rev. 20630 and it uses Gtk+/Quartz instead of X11 windowing. There are a few bugs when running Inkscape on Gtk+/Quartz which I'm attempting to fix at the moment, once I have them fixed I will upload an updated package accordingly. I hope that despite the limited usability of the package (Intel-only) it can find some use. The package can be downloaded at: http://futurepast.free.fr/inkscape/ M. -- Please note that according to the German law on data retention, information on every electronic information exchange with me is retained for a period of six months. [Bitte beachten Sie, dass dem Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung zufolge jeder elektronische Kontakt mit mir sechs Monate lang gespeichert wird.]

GSoC 2009
by Josh Andler 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hey all, Given that there will be a smaller number of students available via GSoC this year, do we have any volunteers to take care of coordinating our overall participation to ensure we can get the most possible? Primarily we just need someone who would be willing to stay on top of what is going on with GSoC, and to relay information and respond in a timely manner. Aaron, you had handled it last year, is it something you're interested in doing again? Cheers, Josh

I'd rather replace it with a new one. Could the guy who pushed the magic pledgie button last year do it again please? :) Alexandre

Snapping toolbar
by Diederik van Lierop 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

New as of revision #20491: the much requested and long overdue toolbar with snapping controls! Please test it and report any bugs. Question to you all: do you think we can remove the "snap" tabs in the document properties dialog, except for the snapping distance sliders? If you don't need it, just turn it off and it won't bother you again. If you don't like it, then please draw me some new icons. Please forgive, these are the first icons I've ever drawn :-). Obviously, there are no Tango icons yet either. On Linux, please don't forget to do a "make install" to install the new icons.svg file. Diederik

Hi, I've noticed that on this page: http://www.inkscape.org/svn.phpthere's a link that points to: http://svn.sourceforge.net/inkscape This is not correct, it should be: http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/ Cheers, -- Lucas Vieites

Re: [Inkscape-devel] LPE cleanup
by unknown＠example.com 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi all, I just moved almost all 0.47 LPEs to the "experimental" section in the code. This means that they will not show up in the normal 0.47 builds. We need to make sure they work and don't crash, that there is a testfile in the testsuite and that they are useable too. If you want to build Inkscape with experimental LPEs, make sure "LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS" is defined. You can do that by editing config.h (in build.xml for windows, on linux I have no clue), or by editing /src/live_effects/effect.cpp at the start somewhere put: "#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS" Cheers, Johan > -----Original Message----- > From: Engelen, J.B.C.

Paging jabber whiteboard developers
by Irving Popovetsky 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

(This message was cross-posted to the inkscapeforum.com site) Hello, I'm the one that filed this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/319107 on the jabber whiteboard and I'm interested in this feature. I'm currently looking for any Inkscape developers that are even somewhat familiar with jabber whiteboard/Pedro section of code in Inkscape and have what it takes to work on it. I'm currently looking to either recruit developers to this cause or else get some candid feedback on how much effort would be required to get this feature usable. Thanks in advance, -Irving Popovetsky

Object to path
by Chris 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm writing a separate application that parses and renders SVG files. However, I am completely baffled by the Arc.. After much thought, I have come to the conclusion that it may be better to just alter the Inkscape source to automatically convert Arcs to Paths before saving the file. However, I can't find where this (Object to Path) actually happens in the source. If I could find the method that the menu item calls, I could just call that method before it saves the SVG. Either that or I would love to know how to convert an SVG "A" to a "C"!! Thanks
