I may have found a bug...
by Phil Hendry
...But I'm not sure - it may just be me not understanding how the
package works.
I can create new layers (apparently - at least the dialog appears and
I can type a new layer name in it), move stuff to other layers and
that sort of thing, but I can't open up the layers dialog - CTRL-
SHIFT-L does nothing at all as far as I can see.
Also, is there any way to lock the contents of a layer? If I go to
Global Inkscape Preferences, I can check the 'Select only within
current layer' box, but even if I then go to the layers menu and
select 'Switch to layer above', the objects on the layer I've just
moved from are still selectable.

Apropos letter spacing
by Michèle Garoche
Could the alt modifier key not be hardcoded for that function, i.e.
customizable as already done for some other functions?
Reason: the alt key is used for accented characters on a Mac, hence not
usable as a modifier for people with native languages using those
accented characters. This leads to impossibility to use the letter
spacing function.

letter spacing
by Hago Ziegler
Hi,
I need letter-spacing a lot.
How do you do that in inkscape?
For the moment I always have to use other programs for that.

THANK YOU to Inkscape developers!
by John Beale
Dear Inkscape Developers,
THANK YOU so much for creating this amazing program! For a long time I
have wanted to have the capabilities of something like Adobe Illustrator
but I could never justify the cost for an occasional use. I just discovered
Inkscape and within a few hours I was able to do useful work with it (well-
creating holiday greeting cards, if that's useful!) I'm running on Windows
XP, generating a PS output file and converting that to PDF with Ghostscript
for laser and inkjet print. It looks great.
All the built-in features I've tried work smoothly and I was particularly
impressed by the ease of use, and output quality of the built-in
bitmap-to-vector converter. Great stuff- thank you all!
season's greetings,
John

yet another stupid animation question

I've been using Inkscape for animation for quite some time already.
I'm psyched about that whole "path morphing" thing, because that
really (and I mean REALLY) expands my abilities in the department.
However, I'd love to see some "bones" that could alter the paths
composing a character... Does anyone know of any FREE software package
that would do the trick of providing easy path-modification animation?
I haven't had much luck finding much else, though Inkscape is better
suited for such than what most give it credit for, especially since
varying opacity on full objects is so easily tweakable (multiple
frames can be referenced without any pain whatsoever).
[If anyone has any "non-Free" packages to recommend, I'd like to know
about them, though I can't really promise I'll be able to follow up on
each recommendation due to conflict of ideology. :) ]

Qs re Save As - eps, pdf, odg
by Phil Rhoades
People,
Saving as:
- eps - produces usable but not great output
- odg - does not seem to work?
- pdf - produces very rough output?
I would like to output directly to PDF or to consolidate pages in Open
Office and then export to PDF - is there improvements to these output
formats?
Thanks for nice software!
Regards,
Phil.
