Fwd: Some of the Inkscape title bugs
by Jeff Schiller 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Can anyone help review and provide feedback for patches on the following bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/249445 (patch 15 days old) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/254857 (patch 11 days old) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/238113 (patch 7 days old) I'd like to move on to the UI changes that might be necessary for the doc title (Bug 209199). It would really help to get the above patches in first. Thanks, Jeff ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Schiller <codedread@...400...> Date: Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 12:34 AM Subject: Some of the Inkscape title bugs To: launchpad@...2033... Cc: rob@...2034..., jon@...18... Hi sas, Rob and I have been trying to contribute some patches for Inkscape bugs related to title/desc and accessibility on behalf of the W3C's SVG Interest Group. The list of bugs we're interested are at: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/wiki/Accessibility_Activity#Inkscape I'm sure you're busy, but if you could take a look at the patches that have been submitted and give us your feedback [or commit them! :) ] that would be fantastic. I think Rob has another patch for Bug 238113 that solves a couple more cases. Hopefully he'll be able to submit it some time this week. Bugs that have some patches: 238113, 249445, 254857 After these get fixed, I will be working on some ideas for Bug 209199. Copying Jon on this as I think he might have some ideas in the UI direction for it. Thanks, Jeff

SVG Fonts: current status
by Felipe Sanches 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

today I talked to behdad in #cairo He gave me these instructions after reading my code: (02:03:59) *behdad:* JucaBlues: the new text_to_glyph areguments are mandoatry (02:04:08) behdad: and you shouldn't ignore utf8_len (02:04:09) behdad: really (02:04:19) behdad: forget about the old api (02:04:26) behdad: it was never in a released version of cairo (02:05:43) *behdad:* JucaBlues: also you shouldn't use malloc for glyphs anymore. (02:06:03) *behdad:* JucaBlues: read the new cairo_user_scaled_font_text_to_glyphs_func_t docs and implement it (02:06:58) behdad: your code also is not utf8-clean (02:07:27) *Juca:* :-P (02:07:38) *Juca:* so I have lots of stuff to work on (02:08:30) *Juca:* what do you mean by utf8-clean? (02:08:57) behdad: use g_utf8_* functions to deal with text (02:09:03) behdad: instead of assuming one char = one byte (02:09:08) *Juca:* ah (02:09:10) *Juca:* great! (02:09:41) *Juca:* I didnt now that but I was sure there was a correct way of coding it (02:09:56) *Juca:* and I suspected mine was wrong

Code duplication
by Maximilian Albert 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

Hi all, there is a large chunk of code (~ 130 lines) that is essentially duplicated in both dyna-draw-context.cpp and eraser-context.cpp, namely the function fit_and_split(). The two versions only really differ in a few lines, but they also contains a couple of #ifdef switches that are used for debugging. The problem is that these are also dependent on the file (to wit, #ifdef ERASER_VERBOSE and #ifdef DYNA_DRAW_VERBOSE). I believe it would make sense to melt these two functions together, but how can this be done while at the same time respecting the #ifdefs? Is there a kind of #or directive? Max P.S.: It just occurred to me that the two contexts might share other code, too (although I haven't checked). Perhaps they could even be merged to a larger extent.

F9 + KDE 4.0 (and 4.1) + Inkscape (missing color picker widgets)
by Michael Park 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Hello, My apologies if I'm asking in the wrong place (this seemed like it might be a bug, so I thought I'd try here). So I installed inkscape-0.46-2.fc9.x86_64, and it's exhibiting unexpected behaviour in the color-picking widgets (in the Fill + Stroke dialog). Basically, they're not displaying any color: http://imagebin.org/24367 (RGB) http://imagebin.org/24368 (HSL) http://imagebin.org/24369 (CMYK) The 'Wheel' color picker, however, seems just fine. Is there a specific package dependency that I need to reinstall to get these color pickers to work (this is in Fedora 9). I also tried compiling from http://inkscape.modevia.com/svn-snap/inkscape-19664.tar.bz2 (build 19666 didn't seem to compile), but got the same result with the color pickers. Can someone help point me in the right direction to solving this? Thanks. --Mike

Hi Joshua, > I'm guessing that you have gtk-qt-engine-kde4 (debian/ubuntu package name) > installed and Use My KDE style in Gtk apps selected. Yes, that's correct, for F9, it's gtk-qt-engine-1.1-1.fc9.x86_64. > Do into the system settings->appearance->GTK styles and Fonts pick the use > another style option pick a regular GTK theme will make them look normal, > ugly but normal. Thanks, that was it! System Setting -> Appearance -> GTK Styles and Fonts -> GTK Styles -> Use another style -> <some other option than Qt4> (I used Nodoka) > Again this looks like a GTK-QT Theme Engine bug. So would it be better to report this bug to the GTK-Qt Theme Engine devs, or the Nokia/Trolltech guys? Thanks. --Mike

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Missing nightly builds for Linux&MacOS
by Bob Jamison 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Speaking of devlibs... I just committed Cairo 1.7.4 to devlibs, along with Pixman 0.11.8. I know that it is an unstable version, but we probably need to experiment with this one for development purposes, since it has user font support and other text improvements. I did test it. I would say that it ran fine but it didn't. It had a crashing bug in win32_surface code, but Adrianj magnanimously fixed it immediately and it runs great now. Thanks! So people might want to "svn up" in their devlibs dirs to get this update. bob -----Original Message----- >From: Diederik van Lierop <mail@...1689...> >Sent: Aug 13, 2008 2:15 PM >To: Bob Jamison <rwjj@...127...>, inkscape-devel <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> >Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Missing nightly builds for Linux&MacOS > >Bob Jamison wrote: >> Often I have considered halting the win32 builds. :-) >> >I don't think that is funny at all ;-) !

Elimination of SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP
by Maximilian Albert 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi, during a couple of boring compilation phases I recently decided to use my multitasking capabilities :) to eliminate quite a few instances of SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP. These eliminations should be harmless because they mainly involved passing in the desktop variable from the caller. Anyway, please keep the change in mind and report any bugs this might nonetheless have introduced. E.g., I encountered one place in widgets/toolbox.cpp where the obvious change broke things (it's not committed yet; I'll have to investigate this further since it looks like there is bug hidden somewhere else). Since I wanted the changes to be safe I didn't touch the floating dialogs stuff. It's probably better if someone with more knowledge in this area (Gustav?) tackles this. Max
