System font size on windows
by Mark Ainsworth 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Can anyone out there help please? I've just upgraded from .42.2 to .43 and now all the menu and status bar fonts are too small to read. I'm running on Windows XP. I can't find any settings in the program to change. I've read the posting about changing gtk-font-name="verdana" etc. Although this just change some displays, it doesn't change the top menu line, or the status line at the bottom of the window. Version 42.2 was displaying at a size that was quite readable. Help. Thanks Mark.

I wouldn't have minded using Linux, but I still don't have mine talking to my favorite printer. I did find this utility that got the job done: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141842 It has about the nicest UI for this type of thing I've seen with plenty of control over the paper orientation and overlap. If they ever do integrate such a feature for native svg files, I'd like to see something like this. Unfortunately it requires the use of an intermediate bit mapped file (PNG is ok). By default Inkscape exports bitmaps at 90 dpi. You will probably want to increase that (from the Misc tab on Inkscape Preferences dialog) to something closer to your printer resolution, but the file sizes grow quite fast. Output goes to a PDF file. I hope someone finds this useful. Bob M

Printing Large Documents
by Marchese Family 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Is it possible to print canvases that are larger than the printer's paper? I have several drawing on "tabloid" sized canvases that I would like to print on two (or more with some overlap) pieces of US letter sized paper. This is also known as print tiling and I even found an RFE on it: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=967795&group_id=9… Unfortunately it doesn't look like any action has been taken. Does anyone know of a work around? Thanks, Bob Marchese

Hi, Sorry don't mean to nag if this has been discussed before, but why are people allowed to attach files on this mailinglist? Why can't they just link to the files like on other lists? For example I only have 30MB space, it fills up pretty quickly with 680KB-lists (and atleast my client shows the attachments like text, having it as a link would save time checking it out too). What are your thoughts on this? Best regards Emil
