Kerning?
by Hadmut Danisch 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi, I just compared results of inkscape (0.43-4 Debian) with scribus (1.3.3-1) and found differences in Text kerning. E.g. the word "Test" in Arial is rendered with kerning in inkscape (the e is slightly moved towards the T), while with inkscape (and rsvg) there is no kerning (Bounding boxes of T and e do not overlap). Is this a general property of SVG images to not have kerning? regards Hadmut

Where has the tool set gone?
by erikhalbert 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

I have not seriously played with Inkscape for about six months so I thought I'll do a complete reinstal. My system is Win2000. I cleaned out old copies of Inkscape and brought down Inkscape-0603271700 (43.5M). It appeared to install OK but when I opened it I find that I cannot not use it because the toolset is missing many of its functions. All that is there is: Create rectangles and squares Select and transform Create circles, ellipses and arcs Flip vertically Flip horizontally Edit path nodes and Convert selected object to path This seems so bizarre. Either 1. There is a dialog somewhere that sets up a specific toolset. 2. Something is borked. 3. I am doing something really silly because I've been away from Inkscape too long. I've had a look around and cannot see anything that looks promising. Can someone help me out here. I've been using Inkscape for years so I know how it should behave and it certainly is not doing it now for me. Thanks, Erik

SVG Tiny support
by Benjamin Huot 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Is there any way to save Inkscape drawings in SVG tiny format as that is the only kind of SVG support in current releases of Opera and Firefox? If not, is this something that might be added in the near future. I would like to migrate away from SWF to SVG for vector web graphics, but I need some browser support.

multicolor pinwheel effect.
by John R. Culleton 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

I want to create a multicolor pinwheel effect for a background, with the arms of each shade radiating out from a hub and curved rather than straight. And I want the colors to blend into each other as in a gradient. A rainbow gradient is an obvious starting point. Would anyone like to suggest a sequence of tools to arrive at this effect? I will post this query elsewhere, but will not crosspost. -- John Culleton
