Re: [Inkscape-devel] Poppler 0.8.3 change to GfxFont

16 Jun 2008

      I'm still trying to figure out how to get this to work - any advice?
I'm pretty sure what I have below is not right.
Could someone take a moment to point me in the right direction with a 
short explanation - I'm ignorant, but trying to learn.
Thanks a lot.

Hey,
I'm getting this error with newly updated svn:
In file included from /usr/include/poppler/Gfx.h:18,
                 from extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:32:
/usr/include/poppler/Object.h: In member function 'int 
Object::arrayGetLength()':
/usr/include/poppler/Object.h:244: warning: deprecated conversion from 
string constant to 'char*'
I ran ./configure --enable-DPOPPLER_NEW_GFXFONT
Is that correct?

Hi, all.
One of the guys on the channel asked me if Inkscape runs with Poppler 0.8.3.  I didn't know that Poppler had released anything recently, so I gave it a try on win32.
Inkscape's sneaky use of some private Poppler APIs finally bit us!  :-).  There is a small change in GfxFont::getNextChar() that needs to be addressed for Poppler-0.8.3+.  <tsdgeos> on #poppler kindly showed me the tweak, which I committed.
To be able to use the latest Poppler and this fix, compile with
  -DPOPPLER_NEW_GFXFONT
It seems to run nicely.  But you must recompile. Do NOT use the new Poppler shared objects or DLLs without recompiling, else it is a crasher.
The tweak is just something to keep Inkscape compiling.  Miklos, can you look at this?  I'm sure there is a cleaner, more permanent fix out possible.
thanks!
