Is anyone actually working on fixing the font problems (ie, no styles except the very basic ones)? This is a total show-stopper for professional use. If no one is working on it, is there a guide to how to start on working with the Inkscape code, submitting patches etcetera?
Hi Thomas,
AFAIK nobody is working on it. I hope you can improve things! It is really appreciated a lot :-) I assume you are working on windows.
Actually, I'm in Linux. Sorry, I should have been clearer.
We won't hold that against you. ;-)
You might also want to stop by the irc channel/jabber room sometime. At almost any time of the day there is usually someone knowldegable around, and even if we can't help you we can very often point you to the person who can.
As far as how to contribute. There should be some information on the wiki and website (I've emailed osuosl about the outage). But as Johan said we require two accepted patches before we grant commit access. Patches should be submitted to the sf.net patch tracker. It helps to send a message to this list as well so that interested devs know to review the patch.
Gail Banaszkiewicz is working in the area of text and font for Google's Summer of Code. I'm not sure where she is focusing but you may want to contact her.
Thanks for your interest.
