Box around text when exported as EPS
by Krishna Ramamurthy 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

I'm trying to convert a bitmap of a logo to vector. Trace did a pretty good job, but some of the font serifs weren't quite right so I kept the rest of the image and then recreated the text using the text facility in Inkscape. It all looks fine, but when I export to EPS and then place that into pagemaker, etc. I'm left with a box around the text I created. If I take the SVG file and open it in Illustrator it's fine. If I save as EPS in Illustrator, it's fine. Is this a bug in the EPS export facility in Inkscape or am I doing something wrong? The files are here: http://www.dppi.org.uk/images/DPPILogo.svg http://www.dppi.org.uk/images/DPPILogo.eps Thanks in advance.

Bending text box
by Sylvain Allombert 27 Feb '06

Hello everybody, Not sure how to explain this in english : I'd like to put text around a globe, so would like to be able to have a text box that would fit the curve of the globe. Any idea how to do that in inkscape ? Haven't found anything. Thank you very much. Cheers, Sylvain, France --------------------------------- Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger !

Noob question about shapes
by Lea Hudson 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi, After only just discovering Inkscape, I'm just practicing drawing simple, cartoon animals. One thing I'd like to do, but cannot figure out is how to draw an egg shape. The elipse is easy, but how do I narrow the top to make it look more like an actual egg? I've been through the tutorials and think there's probably something really easy I've missed :-) Cheers, Jim --------------------------------- Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!. Enter now.

inkscape and unicode font not working
by Pedro Kroger 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi, I'm trying to use inkscape to open a svg file generated by lilypond but I'm having some problems: inkscape shows boxes instead of music notes. I do have the corrected fonts installed (have tried them with other programs). I could narrow the problem down to this: 1. put the emmentaler fonts in ~/.fonts 2. run fc-cache 3. open inkscape, select the emmentaler font from the text tool 4. type ctrl-u e125, that should give me a notehead glyph but I get a non-printable character message instead this url has the otf font and a "print out" with the font glyphs (from fontforge, useful to know the unicode code) in case someone feels like taking a look: http://www.pedrokroeger.net/inkscape/ I thought the problem was related to some library, but firefox can render this beautifully using the emmentaler font: <html>  </html> I'm using inkscape 0.43, fontforge 20060125, and pango 1.10.2. Any ideas or pointers? Best regards, Pedro Kröger

Just noticed openclipart.org redirects to freedesktop.org. I don't know how long it's been like this. Does anyone know where it's gone or when/if openclipart.org will be back? Thanks, Chris

Open Clip Art integration
by aariel 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

inkscape-users, New to inkscape. Read through most of the docs and searched quite a bit before posting. How do I integrate open clip art and inkscape? OR how does inkscape make use of hte XML that comes with open clip art? I guess I'm expecting a menu or window to be available in inkscape with thumb nails of all the clip art which I can search based on the XML tags. Thanks, Paul --------------------------------- Yahoo!
