Ruler Preferences
by Rob Lowe
By default, the rulers on an Inkscape document have an origin in the
lower-left hand corner. Is there a setting or pref or config line I can
change to move the origin to the upper left-hand corner?

Objects along path.
by Moritz Moeller
Hello,
I wonder if it is possible in any way to apply an object to a path like
in Corel or Illustrator. I.e. an object which is stretched and deformed
along the length of a path.
I could e.g. take a triangle and applying it to a path would yield a
path with a spiky tip and a blunt base, the with of the triangle.
If that object was life, i.e. changing the original triangle would
change the path, that'd be even more useful.
Another nice feature would be the ability to set the width of a path
wither anywhere or at least at any knot -- w/o converting the path into
outlines.
Cheers,
Moritz

Font disappears after upgrade on OS X
by John Haiducek
I upgraded inkscape from 0.44 to 0.45 on OS X. One of my fonts is no
longer available, and of course it's one I was using for a project.
The particular font is Onyx, for what it's worth. I tried running fc-
cache -fv as myself and as root; fc-cache gives no errors but
inkscape still can't see my font. I tried copying the font from my
home directory where it was into the system font directory and no
luck there either.
Can anyone help me get inkscape to see this font again?

Re: [Inkscape-user] How to aligne objects along a path?
by Diederik en Rezi
Hi Lynx,
Have you tried snapping the center of the small circles to the contour
of the big circle? Snapping options can be controlled in the document
properties dialog. If you make sure that the center of the whole group
of small circles is coincident with the center of the big circle, you
can also make the small circles tangentially aligned by holding
CTRL-SHIFT while scaling the whole group of small circles.
If you want to try the snapping though you might want to use one of the
latest precompiled versions (windows only) or compile the SVN version
yourself, because snapping has improved a lot since v0.45.1

Question about modifying paths
by Kyungjun Lee
Hi,
Is it possible to modify paths, as a poor man's alternative to
texture-mapping a polyhedron? If yes, how easy is it to do with
Inkscape..? :)

How to aligne a group of objects by aligning one of them?
by unknown＠example.com
Hello!
Just got into another problem: I have group of objects grouped together and
now want to aligne that whole group by alining on of the objects of the group
to something. The one object of the group should pull the rest of the group
with it when it gets aligned. Is that possible?
Thanks

by unknown＠example.com
Hello!
I coudln't find instructions on how to include the tex-output of inkscape in a
latex document. Does this output method support transparent gradients? If not
what is the best way to get drawings with transparent gradients included in
latex?
Thanks

whiteboard
by Florian Ludwig
Hi there,
does anyone used the whiteboard function succesfully? I tried 3
different jabber server and two of them (jabber.org and amessage.info)
brought my a
"login: no second SASL challenge offered by server" error
and afterwards crash inkscape with an "internal error."
The third server (gmx.de) worked. But i can sign into the other two with
pidgin without a hassle, so any guess whats the problem? A not implemted
auth type in inkscape? Espacially that jabber.org didn't work
disappointed my a bit.
greetings,
Florian
