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.

How to upgrade to Inkscape 0.46
by Ocetalo
Greetings
Sorry, I seem to be always late to everything. Had no idea ver. 0.46 was
already released. Is it fully stable? Could you please explain me how to
upgrade to 0.46? Do I have to uninstall 0.45 and install 0.46? I'm a Windows
(Vista) user. Thanks in advance.

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.

Inkscape / GSoC '08 proposal
by Bryce Harrington
Hi all,
I'm hearing some rumblings that Google will be running their Summer of
Code project again this year, and want to put out a proposal for
discussion about how we should handle it this year.
SoC has been great for bringing new ideas to Inkscape from a number of
sources, yet often the newly written code needs follow up work to sand
rough corners or to make it fit more correctly within our architecture.
However, between SoC mentoring during the summers, and release work at
other parts of the year, core developers haven't really had a good solid
amount of time to focus on this digestion. There is concern that
another summer's worth of code would put us further behind in this
regard.
Of course, given the major benefits that have accrued from our past
involvement, it would be a shame to have to sit it out!
But I think there is a compromise which will solve this, if we set two
criteria for this year's involvement:
1. All Inkscape GSoC projects this year must be implemented as
extensions, with no changes required to Inkscape's core
2. All mentoring be done by developers who will not be focusing on the
0.47 codebase refactoring efforts. (In particular, developers with
good extension development experience.) We will limit the number of
candidates we accept to the number of mentors available.
I think this approach will prove valuable in a few different ways.
First, extension writing is likely going to be a much easier learning
curve for students than learning to build and work within inkscape's
codebase. Second, it keeps their code distinct and discrete from
inkscape's codebase, avoiding any increase in 'entropy' in our core
code. Third, it will help add value to our extension community, and
give them resources to do achieve things that would have had trouble
competing against core codebase feature priorities.
Please let me know what are your thoughts on this proposal? If you
support it and have written extensions before, would you also be willing
to be a mentor?

Glad to know these warnings are gone. But actually this makes me think

It does work and has worked on several systems already so that makes

What log are you watching? By default when you open Console.app on
Leopard you're on a sort of table view in which messages come in from
several places. Just switch to LOG FILES > System log in the side bar.
Here's what I get when I start Inkscape devel (latest on modevia),
with X11 not yet running, on OS X 10.5.2, Xquartz 2.1.4. I've inserted
markers where appropriate:

The locale issue has been here for ever, I guess it's something in our
starting script but it is harmless.
Then come messages from Xquartz
The Pango errors take some tim to appear and are, in my experience,
associated at least in part with the use of Lucida Grande as
Inkscape's UI font. Once again, the font is still displayed fine. This
is harmless
Then again messages from Xquartz when quitting.
So basically, if you get any of these messages, don't worry, it's the
normal behavior (not perfect but it works).
We'll try something else now: do you have any custom templates or the
like in ~/.inkscape? Could you try moving away those and your
preferences. In aTerminal:
mkdir -p inkscape-bkp
mv ~/.inkscape* inkscape-bkp
Then start Inkscape. To put them back in place:
mv inkscape-bkp/.ink* ~
rmdir inkscape-bkp
If this is indeed the problem, please try to find which file causes it
(by moving back only part of your customizations. Are comfortable
enough with a terminal?) and then submit a bug report with it on
Launchpad.

Well I would if I could. These different versions of X11 are a mess.
The bug reports open on this are usually still lacking information
while precise steps were given. I've never had a single problem with
it so I don't have first hand experience. The information currently in
the wiki is excellent IMHO. You did a great job. And if everyone
followed these I think we would have had much less bug reports in the
Panther-Tiger transition. As for Leopard, I personally use Xquartz but
would not recommend it to people unless they have problems (like
Stuart here). As usual: "Don't fix what ain't broken". The update
Apple shipped with 10.5.2 should have improved the matter enough anyway.
Cheers,
JiHO

Using Inkscape to prepare presentations
by Hannes Hochreiner
Dear all:
I have used Inkscape for a while now, and the more I use it, the more
I like it. Congratulations to the whole community and thanks a lot
for your work! Among other things, I use Inkscape to edit
illustrations for my presentations. One thing that I don't like about
the process, is that I create the images, then export them to PDF and
afterwards import them into Keynote. It's not very convenient and
that got me thinking about a way to improve the process.
After looking at different approaches for web slide shows (based on
HTML, CSS, SVG and JavaScript in various combinations), I plugged
together a small JavaScript programme that turns an Inkscape image
into a slide show. Every layer of the image becomes one slide. The
beauty of the approach is that the set-up and the definition of the
transitions can be done from within Inkscape and everything is
contained in the SVG image file. To view the presentation the SVG
image can be loaded into any browser with JavaScript and SVG support.
So far, I tested it successfully in Firefox and Safari on OSX and in
Firefox on WindowsXP.
There is lots more that could still be done to improve the code and
to integrate it better with Inkscape, but I wanted to see what people
think about it before I continue to work on improvements. You can
download the image (presentation) from the link below. I hope you'll
have fun playing around with it. Feedback and pointers to other
approaches for solving the same problem are always appreciated.

The image above uses the DejaVu fonts. If you don't have them on your
system, other fonts will be used and the results will look slightly
different.

save as... jpg
by bernardokp
Hello everyone,
I just downloaded the newest version of Inkscape 0.45.
I tried to save my work as a .jpg or jpeg and I noticed
that this option has disappeared form the "save as..."
window. I remember I was able to do that in older versions.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks a lot,
Bernardo

Can clones override inherited style?
by unknown＠example.com
Hello all,
I am trying to set a different stroke color on a clone, but this is only possible when I unset the stroke of the original which makes the original invisible. Is it possible for clones to override the style they inherit from the original?
Thanks,
Johan
