Re: [Inkscape-user] missing wingdings font
by Don Ong
Thanks for the tip guys. I managed to find a work around for this. First I would use the missing fonts in OpenOffice Draw, convert the text to curves. Then export them to SVG. Importing them to Inkscape again.
Regards,
Don

Insert symbol from font file
by Facundo Casco
Hi, I was wondering if there is some way to insert a symbol from a
font into the document.
I think it would be nice to have some sort of 'insert symbol' option
with a window that let's you choose a font from those installed on the
system or open a font file and presents you with the glyphs in that
font. Then you select one (or even more) and it gets inserted in the
document as a path. I would be really helpfull if you have some fonts
with graphics.

3d type effect.
by John R. Culleton
It is well known how to create drop shadow effects in various tools
including inkscape. What I am asking about is a true 3d effect, such
as you see in the opening credits of movies in the 1930's and 1940's.
I can see how one can do it manually, with two representations of
each character overlapping and lines drawn by hand between
corresponding vertices. But is there a less tedious way?

change the drag line
by Christopher M. Logan
When I'm creating straight lines with the Bezier tool, sometimes i have
to trace over black lines. The current Bezier tool line is "red'. Is
there a way to change the default color of the line to white or some
other color?

installed bar code font wont appear
by Don Ong
Hi All,
I wanted to add some barcode information to my work in Inkscape, but for some reason Inkscape wont display for me to select the barcode font "Code EAN13" .
But in GIMP, Ms Word, Excel and other programs in windows, I can see and select the font and it appears just fine.
Website for barcode Font.
http://grandzebu.net/index.php?page=/informatique/codbar/ean13.htm
Is there some conflict or tweak in Inscape which I can try to resolve this? Thanks.
Regards,
Don

Being able to work with Adobe Illustrator files in Inkscape (workaround)
by chacmool
Hello,
I would like to share something that I have found extremely helpful,
before I migrated completely to linux I had adobe illustrator and photoshop
etc. But then I left window because of all its problems and now I use linux
exclusively.
The problem that I had faced in the past was whenever I had to use drawings
I had made in adobe illustrator cs and obviously because of format
differences I couldn't open them with inkscape. Well today I was excited to
have found a workaround to this problem.
before I continue you will need to have the program called GIMP installed in
addition to Inkscape
Here is my solution:
1) Go to the folder where you have your adobe illustrator file
2) Right click on the adobe Illustrator file and choose to open it with
GIMP, this will cause GIMP to load
3)GIMP will ask you a few things via a new window you, if you know what you
are doing feel free to modify them if not you can just click ok
4) Once the file loads in GIMP you can go to file-->Save AS, then type the
name that you want and change the extension of the file to JPEG. After you
do that click OK
5) when you click ok GIMP will notify you that it needs to export the
drawing, go ahead and slide the quality to 100% and click ok
6) after your drawing has been converted to JPEG open up Inkscape and go to
--->File-->Import bitmap, then browse to the folder where the JPEG file is
stored and click open. This will then place your drawing in the INKSCAPE
program.
7)When you have the drawing there you can use the Pen tool in Inkscape to
trace over your artwork once you are done you can discard the imported JPEG
and save your file as native inkscape file.
As you can see this solution requires some work to be done but hey, at least
you are able to use your Adobe Illustrator files and not panic about not
being able to open them like what happened to me in the past.
I hope this helps, if some one else has an easier solution feel free to let
me know.
Also maybe the developers of Inkscape can ask the ones who develop GIMP to
see what sort of converter they use to be able to open Adobe Illustrator
files.
