Inkscape wants to use Bitstream Vera Sans as the default font, but I don't have that installed on my system so every character becomes ugly rectangles. I cannot figure out how to change the font to something else. I noticed that there is a Resources folder when embedding Inkscape inside a bundle, but it doesn't seem to work for the native version. Does anyone have any suggestions for putting inkscape native into an application bundle?

Looks like both were problems. I copied the definitions of IS_FINITE to 2geom/isnan.h and switched to gcc-4.0 and it compiled fine in about 4 hours. It seems to run fine, but I was having font problems. However, I recently screwed up my system fonts and I need to restart, which should fix the problems. If anyone wants it, I have terminal output of the assertion failures that happened while running.

I have been attempting to compile a native version of Inkscape for Mac OS 10.4 on a PowerBook G4, and using the latest SVN I am getting the following error:

My guess would be that the isnan.h in 2geom does not have the fixes we have added to the inkscape isnan.h.
Try copying the definitions of IS_FINITE from src/isnan.h over the ones in src/2geom/isnan.h.
Also, Matt, maybe you are using gcc 3.3? We compile our 10.4 packages with gcc-4.0, so maybe we haven't noticed a problem with gcc-3.3 on Mac OS X.
Cheers, Michael

You can probably fix this by editing gtkrc. There should be a global $GTK_INSTALL_DIR/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, and also a user's ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
I found some info on the web for a project with similar issues here:
http://xanana.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Installing_Coot_on_OS_X
They have an entry:
gtk-font-name = "LucidaGrande 15"
Hope this helps.

Putting that line into Inkscape didn't seem to help, although inkscape is getting the change. I think it might be a problem with pango. The errors I am getting are:

I asked around, and nobody knew. What I would suggest, is that you try visiting irc.gnome.org, in the "#gtk+" channel. Since the native OSX gtk port is still in development, this might be something that they would need to see. At any rate, that is where the experts in this area lurk.

Seems to me that pango isn't reading the font files right.
These issues are indeed caused by Pango and the problem does not come from note having bitstream vera sans (BTW, switching to Deja Vu sans as the default would be a wise move since most new distros are using this new version of the Bitstream fonts).
If I remember well, the problem, for me, was that Pango was build by MacPorts with an X environement in mind while, obviously, the rest is X-free (no pun intended). So look for a no_x11 variant of Pango, or something similar. Basically it must remove dependencies on X and freetype and use Cairo to render the fonts. When Cairo is compiled natively, it ultimately removes any dependency on X11. The other possible issue is that font stuff changed recently in Cairo and Pango and that some environement variables names related to fonts may be different between the two. Which versions does MacPorts gives you on your G4 on 10.4?
I'll look a bit more into this when I am on my main machine.
