Red Spiral Challenge
by Aaron Elmquist
Does anyone know how to creat the red spiral with the continuous gradient in
Tavmjong Bah's "A Guide to Inkscape" I took a couple cracks at it last
night without much sucess.

Type1 Fonts on Windows XP
by Norvell Spearman
How do I configure Inkscape for Windows to see the Type1 fonts I have
installed? The GIMP sees them fine (which also uses freetype), as
does OpenOffice.org. The font names and corresponding pfb file names
even show up in my .fonts.cache-1 file but I still can't see them in
Inkscape. Thanks for any answers.

Fwd: Automatically set Z-order
by Rob Antonishen
Woo-Hoo
Thanks to Kurt I was able to pull together an extension. It is
ungainly slow because of the whole "calling another instance of
Inkscape" deal , but it does work. This provides an option of
restacking the selected objects in a direction (left to right, right
to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top) as well as the point of each
object to compare (top left, bottom middle, etc).
Attached are before and after samples, as well as the extension. It
registers as "Effects->Modify Path->Restack"
I am running on Inkscape 0.46dev+devel, built Apr 28 2007, so ymmv if
running .45

SVG Viewers
by Cedric Sagne
Thanks all for info on the SVG viewer topic. It never was the most
convenient thing about SVGs (and anyway not Inkscape's fault) so I sort
of did with it.
I added a new section in the FAQ based on the comments here - a very
constructive thread for all of us. Please bring your additional comments
on the specific viewer you use.

Easily edit names
by Brian Vanderburg II
A lot of the names can be edited by right-clicking on an item, but some
names can't be edited so easily, and even when this works, it is tedious
when wanted to give meaningful names to many items. The XML editor
could work, but would require a complete find-replace to replace the
name. Instead it would be nice if there was a name manager that could
show all the name used in a file, what type the name is (group, pattern,
image id, etc), and even a preview of the time, and allow renaming it
from there and making sure the new name is not used by something else.
For example, the name linearGradient3313 doesn't mean much to me in a
big file with many gradients. I'd rather name it to be more meaningful
so if an item is to use the same gradient, I can more easily recognize
it, esp. if it is similar to another gradient. The same goes with other
things like patterns, etc, and it would be nice to have an easy-to-use
name/id manager for them.
p.s Not sure if this is the correct place to send this. Sorry if not.
