Hello,
I've been trying to solve a 2+ year issue with inkscape and my printing device (laser cutter) not accepting paths as vectors. All I can seem to get out of inkscape is rastered images. Yes, exporting to PDF works, but it's not a fix and not a great solution either.
As such, I've been digging in the code to inkscape versions 0.46 to 0.48.2 on a win32 platform.
Why was a call to cairo PS level 3 commented out on line 101? And can you tell me if the call to renderItem() is sending bitmap or vector data to the surface? Where in the code chain might the vector paths be rastered?
Cheers, sV
