Looks like something is wrong with your locale. We use the standard glib
functions g_filename_{to/from}_utf8. Try non-ascii filenames with another
GTK program, such as Gimp, and see if it works for you.

Just do "make install".

Inkscape - insensitive mode
by Adam Pearson
Hi all
Please forgive a newcomer to Inkscape and someone who knows nothing about
the programming behind the screen:
Using the selector tool, I can make objects/groups of objects "insensitive",
which is potentially very useful as I can then use it like e.g. Photoshop to
make a quasi-layer
BUT
Can I undo this later - i.e. can I come back to the "insensitive" object or
group and "re-activate" it?
Regards to all

Hi all,
I hope that I made this a bit clearer and I submitted a RFE,
#957009, complete with an example.

The only place where the font size is hard-coded is the top panel (under the
menu). The menu and the dialogs use standard font size. And on my system,
for example, the font size of Sodipodi 0.34 is noticeably smaller than that
of Inkscape. Gimp 2.0 has the same font size as Inkscape. So it's more
likely that Sodipodi decreases its global font size artificially (although I
don't know how, could anyone explain how this is possible?).

Should not happen. This was fixed long ago. Now we use the system locale
encoding for filenames. At least, KOI8-R filenames work for me.

I think I know what you mean. Sodipodi (and early Inkscape) is broken in
that it stores the filenames inside the SVG file in sodipodi:docname
attribute, but does not recode them from the locale encoding to UTF-8.
However everything inside SVG must be in UTF-8 as specified by the XML
encoding declaration. Therefore these old files will cause trouble. Simply
remove the docname and docbase attributes to make them parse.

Check if the element has xml:space="preserve".

They are, by default. New text objects are created with
xml:space="preserve". If this does not work for you, file a bug with example
files attached.

Font size in menus and dialogs and other things
by Mario Streiber
Hi list,
I just built and installed inkscape-0.38.1 successfully on my SuSE
Linux 8.1 box. After a few initial problems importing graphics
created with sodipodi, at the moment the following issues remain:
1) The font size of menus and dialogs is very small.
Is there a way of changing it, e.g. to the default
size that other GTK apps use? If not (e.g. because
it is hardcoded), can someone point me to a location
in the code where I can change it?
2) It seems inkscape expects all strings (including
file names) to be UTF-8 encoded (although I do not
use a UTF-8 locale, but de_DE@...120... Thus file names
that contain german umlauts etc. cause trouble.
Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAME helped here but problems
with german umlauts in sodipodi graphics remain. (I
removed them by editing the svg files manually
before loading them into inkscape).
Is there a way for inkscape to use other than UTF
encoding?
3) With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing
which used a fixed width font and contained multiple
blanks to form a simple table. But inkscape prints
only one blank for any number of blanks in a row.
How can I enter text so that multiple blanks are
displayed between two words?
Thanks in advance
Mario

"Two objects" are already "separate objects", no? Please explain in detail
how you want this to work, best of all with an example. Please submit an RFE
attaching your example, rationale for such a function (why is it useful and
why workarounds are not acceptable), plus any other information that might
help developers (e.g. proposed command name, shortcut, etc).

Re: Inkscape-user digest, Vol 1 #75 - 1 msg
by Lee McLain
Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a function to make two objects split into
separate objects where they overlap. There is a function in Illustrator
to do just that, but I can't seem to find a similar function in Inkscape.
Thanks,
Lee
