XICC support
by Jon A. Cruz 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

I finished getting base XICC support in. It works for me with two monitors, including changing dynamically as profiles are attached or removed or as windows are moved across displays. Give things a run through and see how it goes.

bold some words issue in OSX
by iuri kothe 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi all, I need to bold some words in a text object. This works fine on Linux & Win, but under OSX (10.4.10 & X11) i can't even have bold in Verdana. This Wiki FAQ looks related: wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ # 3.10 Inkscape does not see some of the fonts (Mac OSX) but seems problematic (i use FireFox a lot). Is there a way to overcome this issue? install some fonts in X11? or maybe compiling inkscape to run without X11? thanks in advance, iuri

SVG viewer
by Cedric Sagne 22 Nov '07

I just checked and it seems irfanview can (with a plugin) handle svg files - it has a thubnail/folder browser -- check it out. :: I confirm Irfanview has an SVG plugin, and it works just fine (although filled areas look funny) Cédric

Even though you cannot see the file as a thumbnail, but in terms of opening the file Opera is lightning fast. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.

That's actually what linux does.. If you just need to do that and no fast integration of that with other works, you could at least try a live version of .. ubuntu (the one I'm sure is doing this..) Lucio Boscolo .In addition to a viewer, what I'd like is a decent SVG browser/explorer. . .In particular, I'd like to navigate directory trees of SVG files and .get thumbnail views of the entire directory at once. . .Integration with the native directory explorer/navigator would be .beneficial too. . .Thanks, .greg.fenton . .On Nov 22, 2007 3:05 AM, Maarten van der Velde .<Maarten.van-der-Velde@...2171...> wrote: .> Dear People, .> .> Is there a good working SVG-Viewer for Windows?

Maarten wrote Two suggestions. First. I find that Adobe SVG viewer works well. I just redownloaded it. Adobe's free SVG viewer plug-in, ASV 3.0. If you don't already have ASV installed, you can get the executable setup file, SVGVIEW.EXE, at the following Web site: www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html Install the plug-in by simply downloading and running SVGVIEW.EXE. The setup is quick and there are no options. I downloaded version 3.0.3 and it works fine. How do you get it to work like the windows picture and fax viewer? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Looking for tutorial on editing the source of SVG files
by Dave M G 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Inskcape Users, I'm creating a bunch of line art drawings in SVG that I will then edit within PHP to do some dynamic transformations before displaying on the web. I'm trying to find a readable and helpful set of instructions on how to manipulate groups of objects to do the following: Scale group with X and Y proportioned Scale in X or Y separately flip on vertical axis Refill colour on all group elements jitter slightly points in group overlay SVG files onto one another So far I've been able to figure out how to change the color on one object, but not on a group. Outside of the very technical W3C documentation, I'm not finding much in the way of user friendly tutorials. Anyone have any tips on where I might look for such a resource? -- Dave M G -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Looking-for-tutorial-on-editing-the-source-of-SVG-fil… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Simulating rubber stamp impressions (postmarks, etc.)
by Tristan Miller 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Greetings. What would be the best way of simulating the impression made by an old inked rubber stamp? Such stamps often have uneven ink distribution and the edges are often eroded. For example, check out the postmark on the upper right corner of this stamp: <http://www.sillektiki.com/images/2491.jpg>. This sort of style is commonly seen in grunge fonts. So, given a clean vector representation of such an image, such as <http://files.nothingisreal.com/tmp/postmark.svg>, how can I make it look nice and grungy like a real postmark?
