Hey guys,
I wanted to create a pdf of the file located in http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~dcb/linux/rocknacht.tar.gz (also includes the fonts)... but the created pdf cannot be viewed by any of my viewers.
Could someone have a look at why?
Thanx!
David
Christian,
- the svg looks differently in the mozilla and inkscape. - did you mad the pdf using inkscape or scribus ? - maybe you also publish the pdf (and also the ps file)
BTW on windows I use the ps output and then distiller for the pdf.

I just saved it as pdf from Inkscape. I know about importing the pdf to Scribus, but it's quite the PITA... The package now includes the pdf-output, I got.

Really? Have you got anything for our most friendly bugtracker? :)
Well: At that point I just was speaking from experience and couldn't tell right away, what the problems were... right now I'm working with a 1.3.0 CVS from February, so things might have changed. But:
1. Fonts aren't preserved. Maybe Scribus doesn't automatically recognize my .fonts folder in my home?
2. Transformations get lost. The inkscape logo that should be tiny is huge and at totally the wrong spot.. so is the text going along with it. Is there a problem with rotating objects by 90°?
3. There are some issues with transparencies it seems, but I'm not yet sure, what exactly it is.
4. (also for inkscape:) Bleed... Maybe I'm just blind. I know there's been a discussion about bleed for 1.3, but I can't find it.
Anyways, number 1 and 2 are the two things that keep me from using it.
Scribus however is a great piece of software. I'm just used to InDesign, which by now is still a little more comfortable... This is why I'm not following the development as closely as I am with Inkscape (Inkscape is more comfortable to use than CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator -- it just does still lack some functionality, as we all know)
Take care!

For the most part, the issues you may talk about rely on the SVG importer of Scribus, which admittedly is weak in comparison to other parts of the program. We have made many other advancements to the rest of the canvas operations that will allow the SVG importer to improve though.
All of these operations, apart from bleed setup (which is coming at some point) should work just fine if used/created in Scribus however. If you have example SVGs that are not importing, please submit them in a bug on bugs.scribus.net.
