SVG that doesn't display in Inkscape.
by Lee McLain 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

Hi all, I just downloaded from the Creative Commons website their logos in SVG format and I cannot get them to load properly in Inkscape 0.38. I view them just fine in GQView, so I know that they are there, but I get a blank screen in Inkscape. http://creativecommons.org/presskit/ Any ideas what's going on? Thanks, Lee McLain

ANNOUNCE: Open Clip Art Library 0.04 Release
by Bryce Harrington 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

Release 0.04 of the Open Clip Art Library is now available for download from the OCAL website: http://www.openclipart.org/downloads/ This release represents over 600 separate images thanks to a number of artists. The theme of this release is 'Summer'; please see the RELEASE_0.04.svg file for examples of summer contributions. :-) All of the clipart in the package are attributed as to their author, and all images are placed in the Public Domain, allowing use for any purpose without restriction. Our goal is to do for vector art what Wikipedia has done for reference information. We want to build the biggest and most open collection of free vector art in the world. So if you find these images of use, please consider contributing back and help us fill in the gaps. For details, see: http://www.openclipart.org Our next release will be in late July. In addition to building up the library further, we will be focusing on categorization. Bryce

Fwd: [Inkscape-devel] Re: slovenian files for inkscape

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bulia byak <buliabyak@...155...> Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 15:35:08 -0300 Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Re: slovenian files for inkscape To: Mostafa Hussein <mostafa@...168...> Cc: inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net > Attached is an SVG file that contains the phrase "Inkscape writes arabic" in Tahoma font. Thank you. I added the same in Russian and put the file as i18n.svg to share/examples. The samples are now shown in two generic fonts, Sans and Serif. Now we need more languages there! In a few hours, when the file shows up in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/share/examples/ and anyone can download it, please add a phrase in _your_ language, and send it to the list or upload to the patch tracker. Non-Latin languages (Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese etc) and languages with diacritic marks are especially welcome. Please don't use any special fonts; just add your text as new lines to the same two text objects, so that Pango does automatic font substitution on its own based on Unicode characters you are using. This should work for all languages; if something does not work, submit a bug. Thanks in advance!

[Inkscape-devel] 0.39pre2 (fwd)
by Bryce Harrington 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 01:05:14 -0700 From: Ted Gould <ted@...10...> To: Inkscape Devel List <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [Inkscape-devel] 0.39pre2 https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=991… It exists, it is alive! It will most definitely not be the final release, but it is a good point to start beating up Inkscape. This is not for general use, but more for people who follow the development of Inkscape (being subscribed to this e-mail list is a good start :) I went ahead and put it in the SF file area with a big nasty note to scare away casual users. I think that it is as good of place as any... thoughts are welcome. --Ted

Locked objects
by Adam Pearson 26 Jun '04

26 Jun '04

Hi all I discovered today that you can edit a locked object - size, shape, position colour of fill and stroke, alpha value (but not position), copy ... maybe other things ... while keeping it locked. Just TAB to the object and do the adjustments. Maybe everyone knows this if so my apologies. Regards, Adam

Pango testing - help needed!
by bulia byak 26 Jun '04

26 Jun '04

As you know, we recently switched our text system to a new library called Pango. Now that some of the worst bugs and regressions are fixed (definitely not all), and we need your help in testing it thoroughly. 1. Here are the confirmed Pango niceties so far (i.e. what is tested and works): - Text is much smoother. No more ugly autohinting gaps between letters in small sizes. Letters move smoothly when you change letterspacing by Alt+< and Alt+>. - Auto kerning pairs (from the font) now work. For example "AV" will now be kerned together automatically in most decent fonts. - On Windows, non-ASCII text works (tested with Cyrillic). Localized font face names (such as "italic" translated into a local language for Windows fonts such as Arial) are no longer a problem. 2. Here is what SHOULD work now but is not yet tested because we don't speak these languages. This is where we need your help: - Right-To-Left text (Hebrew, Arabic) and BIDI (bidirectional mixed text) seems to work but I'm not sure. - Contextual letterforms that depend on the position in a word and script-specific ligatures (Devanagari) should work. - Chinese and Japanese need testing, especially for how good vertical text works (it is enabled by a button in the Text and Font dialog). 3. And finally the things that don't work (yet): - Symbol fonts seem to have problems, at least the symbol.ttf from Windows. Any help or insights is appreciated. - Fuzzy font matching that worked in 0.38 is not reenabled yet. (No warnings on font substitutions, etc.) Only Italic and Bold faces within a family work so far. This is being worked on. So, grab the latest CVS and play with text as much as you can. We're interested to hear any reports, positive as well as negative.
