Problem displaying unicode characters from eps file.
by Roger McMurtrie 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Inkscape 0.46 Linux Ubuntu I have prepared a diagram using unicode characters (Greek). When I save this diagram as eps, Inkscape displays the correct Greek characters. However, when I import the eps file into non-Inkscape documents, or just display the file with an application other than Inkscape, the characters display as English characters. For example, Delta displays as r4 and lambda displays as w. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem? regards, Roger -- Laser Physics Centre Research School Of Physical Sciences And Engineering Australian National University

troubles with adobe RGB printer
by Jean-Christophe Roux 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello, I have a svg file made of black, white and blue (RGBA: 225588ff). When I export the image as a png and send to the printer, I get a very different bleu from what I expected. Talking with the printer, I understant he always assume Adobe RGB. Is there a way to set up inkscape so that I would work with Adobe RGB and have some confidence that color on my screen and on the print will be rather close? Thank you for your help

Opacity not 100% gets lost
by Jeremy C. Reed 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

I have a solid color background. Then a layer above that is a pattern of repeated logos. All are selected as a group. When I choose Fill and Stroke and change Opacity to less than 100% the final PDF doesn't show that layer anymore. (Even 99% does not work.) Xpdf shows it drawn but then it is immediately replaced with the solid background. In inkscape itself, it appears correctly. When I change opacity back to 100% it works again. Any ideas how I can opacity be less than a 100%? Here is an example (at 100%) http://reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp-ocy843i5y2/J1.svg

how to repeat an image to create background pattern?
by Jeremy C. Reed 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

I am looking for documentation or tool to repeat a small SVG image to create a background pattern. For example if my image is "X". I want it repeated like: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X (Or something similar to that. Hopefully your email client doesn't break my nice formatting above.) I don't want to do this manually (of copying and aligning each image). And I need the final version to keep the "scalable" properties just in case I need to resize. Thanks Jeremy C. Reed

It could be an issue with my ISP, but when I try to submit a file it says "upload in progress" then dies--FF gives back a blank page whilst Opera says "You tried to access the address http://openclipart.org/media/submit/clipart, which is currently unavailable". -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/OpenClipart.org---Are-uploads-working--tp19990507p199… Sent from the Inkscape - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Where do I find a current set of tango icons for the development builds? The one (tango) that is included with the dev builds does not seem to contain all the icons that are in the regular icon set.

If there's anything I could do to solve this, please don't hesitate in telling me. I could not manage to put the backtrace to a text with symbol-file, so I captured the thing. Thank you all.

CorelDraw importation with uniconvertor
by Frederik Himpe 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

I try to get CorelDraw cdr files importation working with uniconvertor on Mandriva Linux. uniconvertor is installed and working fine (the binary is called uniconvertor). I have /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/cdr2svg.sh with these contents: #! /bin/sh rc=0 TMPDIR="${TMPDIR-/tmp}" TEMPFILENAME=`mktemp 2>/dev/null || echo "$TMPDIR/$$"` TEMPFILENAME=${TEMPFILENAME}.svg unviconvertor "$1" "${TEMPFILENAME}" > /dev/null 2>&1 || rc=1 cat < "${TEMPFILENAME}" || rc=1 rm -f "${TEMPFILENAME}" exit $rc and there is also /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/cdr_input.inx: <inkscape-extension> <_name>Corel DRAW Input</_name> <id>org.inkscape.input.cdr</id> <dependency type="executable" location="path">unviconvertor</ dependency> <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">cdr2svg.sh</ dependency> <input> <extension>.cdr</extension> <mimetype>application/vnd.corel-draw</mimetype> <_filetypename>Corel DRAW 7-X4 files (*.cdr)</_filetypename> <_filetypetooltip>Open files saved in Corel DRAW 7-X4</ _filetypetooltip> <output_extension>org.inkscape.output.cdr</output_extension> </input> <script> <command reldir="extensions">cdr2svg.sh</command> </script> </inkscape-extension> However when trying to open a cdr file with File - Open or File - Import in inkscape, I get the message: Failed to load the requested file And at the command line there is: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found RIFFJ which gives the impression that it interprets it as an svg file. How do I get this working correctly? -- Frederik Himpe
