Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Attending: Martin, Marc, Ishann, ltlnx, Tav Next Event: Feb 3, 2025, 3:00 PM UTC / https://inkscape.org/cals/event/64/
We talked about the LGM meeting and what time it was going to be held.
Martin talked about various fixes in the past week as well as continuing work on the PDF exporter. There has been significant friction with upstream with font support and regressions for ligature support which is slowing things down.
Martin also worked on color-font support in object-to-path after talking with Tav. The work is incomplete as the glyphs are not positioned correctly.
Ishaan has been adding tests for the marker refactoring branch he's working on. Adding tests for paths with markers and bounding boxes and will next work on stroke to path tests.
He asked about how to test markers in the stroke to path and we ended up advising Ishann to general small sp-item based pngs to test against before and after running the function.
There was also a question about the size of markers in the object to marker and there were two possible problems. Tav suggested that it might be the stroke width itself and using UserUnits preference. Martin suggested that the viewBox might not be set and it is inheriting it from the document.
ltlnx has been trying to fix the on canvas support for non-latin language. Looking into the font config situation and if it can be used. At one point the fallbacks did work in Linux but they all don't work now.
Tav submitted a merge request for color fonts, it's VERY draft. All OpenType color font types will be supported. Martin talked with Tav about the object to path support and delaying it until Tav's work is complete.
Thanks for coming everyone!
Martin,
