Ruler Preferences
by Rob Lowe 30 Jul '07

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 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

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 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

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? John Haiducek

Re: [Inkscape-user] How to aligne objects along a path?
by Diederik en Rezi 28 Jul '07

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 Diederik > Hello! > > I'm wondering how to aligne circles along a big circle and along a spiral.

Question about modifying paths
by Kyungjun Lee 28 Jul '07

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..? :) Cheers, Kyungjun Lee

How to aligne a group of objects by aligning one of them?
by unknown＠example.com 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

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 Lynx

whiteboard
by Florian Ludwig 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

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
