My vote for #3. #2 in second place.
De : john cliff <john.cliff@...5...>
What happened to the font requirement for the draw freely tho?
It should at least be Open Source friendly...
BTW, I suggest that we don't translate the about screen for this version. The
"Draw freely" text is not easy to change in the selected screens without damage,
and I feel it is really unnecessary.
Regards.

I disagree. "Draw Freely" in English is completely meaningless to speakers of
many languages. If it's the motto of Inkscape, then we need to translate it.
Otherwise, why use it?
A text box/layer should be translatable: the string "Draw Freely" already exists
in the PO file.
If this is difficult, then designers of splash screens need to be made aware of this
requirement up front.

Please see (and comment) https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/463814.
The "Unimount" about screen is a typical case. "Draw Freely" is very
well integrated in the drawing and will be very difficult to translate. Translating it
will change the text length (or if we want to keep the same length, change to text size)
and may not be as nice as the original screen with some translations.
