(I am new to this newsgroup type effort).? Suggestions are always welcome but it if much more helpful if you are not overly critical (constructive criticism!) and make a resonable aeffort to see if it has not already been suggested in the RFE (Request for Enhancement) pages on Sourceforge. At the moment none of the developers are getting paid to work on Inkscape so it is important not to expect too much too soon but they are an enthusiastic team and are eager to make the best Vector Graphics software they can. If the developers like your idea then they will probably ask you to add a report/RFE to the sourceforge project pages http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604309 > I use illustrator on a daily basis, as I work in a design firm. I'm sure your feedback would be much appreciated. I have been trying to look at Adobe Illustrator CS but as I only have a trial edition I cannot do that for very long. > but yes, it seems like it is comming along quite nicely, I also like the > idea of extentions, that seems to have worked out well with firefox. I'm hoping that the extensions/plugin system will grow to support existing Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop plugins in the long term. In the shorter term I'm hoping that Inkscape can make use of some of the features of programs like Dia and Sketch which have support for a wider variety of file formats. I brought this offlist, you dont mind if I bring it back onlist? Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/

Hi, I've tried to export my work to postscript for production printing. I wanted to make pdf from ps file and email to that agency. My work contains text, a little graphics and three pictures (quite hires). When I run ps2pdf on exported ps file, gs fails: Error: /ioerror in --readstring-- Additional information: (`\036\306A) Operand stack: --nostringval-- (\313N\022" 1\354Gvj87\347\322\303%<\266\235\033\347\(\212;\004WtM\257s\232\037\003\255;Z!\206^J\222\356\351W\005\001\255]>\013\017cwqDY\345\207\177w\276\252`Z\217\300> \334%1\256\311a!\206^Gvj8cw\024q\022\221\232wJ\222\356\351]>\013\017\022\221\232wf\223\231"1\256\311aW\005\001\255\025\256\037\(l\314\242\204]>\013\017P\313\370K\230[\3442\006\037\207\263" 1\3544\313N\022A=`\326\177w\276\252J\222\356\351%<\266\235J\222\356\351\257s\232cw\024qP\313\370KS\350|\374> \334%M\257s\232o\351'51\256\311acw\024q...)

>Can I file a bug report or something? Please file a RFE (check first if we have anything about that already). Attaching an SVG file, with a link to the font, and with a screenshot of the correct rendition would be helpful as it will provide an additional test case. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN Premium.

Maybe it's not as complex as arabic, but it's close. Correct. One more reason for us to switch to Pango as soon as we can. _________________________________________________________________ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

You didn't mention anything about fonts you use. My guess is that in Inkscape you simply used a different font which has a different variant of the same glyph. But it's only a guess. View the font(s) you use in Pfaedit to see what glyphs they have for the specific code points. Anyway, we don't yet use Pango for text rendering on the canvas, so it's not likely to affect that. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Premium helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

problem with raghu (devanagari) font
by Joshua N Pritikin 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

When I write \u090f\u0915\u094d\u0938 (the devanagari version of the name of the letter X) then it renders wrong. See the attached screenshot. Is this a pango problem? I have pango 1.2.3-1. Actually it would be useful to have the incorrect rendering as a non-default option. Both renderings are actually correct. -- A new cognitive theory of emotion, http://openheartlogic.org
