Hello, When starting Inkscape on WinXP I (always) get the message ** (indscape.exe:3984): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() And a dialog pops up. I cannot read the end of that dialog since it is not resizeable but it starts with my 'My Files' ('Eigene Dateien' - in german) - Directory... best Steffen

Hello (again), I am trying to import a jpg-image but this fails. Instead a 'broken image'-image is displayed. This happens when dragging&dropping from explorer, but also when using the import-menuentry. I am using Bob's latest build. best Steffen

Hello list, At first: do i have to wirte my question in english? German would be better. When i export my .svg document from incscape to .png and watch my .png in other programs like e.g. gqview or others the background of my grapics is filled with grey and white squares. How can i tell incscape to export with white, or other colored background? Witch linux cad- program does incscape work together best? I Have also installed 'qcad' and 'xfig', and i am trying to draw living rooms from upside, and want to transform it in 3D view. It would be great, if i cold import a scanned image into the program, and work with it. best regards : Istvan

Fill Opacity
by Robert Davis 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Playing with .40cvs from a couple of days ago. Brought in an SVG, from .39, with some rectangle gradiant fills and now they are partial opacity. Noticed in the XML editor that fillopacity was set for .75. Could only find the setting in the XML editor and changing to 1.0 fixed that object.
