Export a single Group in a page to PDF
by Roshan James 15 Apr '12

Hi All, I am using inkscape to draw lots of small diagrams to include in my thesis. Is there some way I can export only a single group on my inkscape svg to a PDF? Currently I do this by right clicking on the group and memorizing the group id number. Then I go to "Save as" and select pdf, enter the filename and in the PDF export dialog I type in the group number to limit the export to only that element. Is there a way to make this easier? If I could somehow select a group and then export the currently selected thing, that would be *much* more convenient that memorizing 5 digit numbers every time I want to export something. Roshan

Default font selection
by Brian Burger 10 Apr '12

Is it possible to force Inkscape to use a certain font as the default in the Text tool? My install seems to have defaulted recently to "IM Fell Flowers" which is a handsome decorative set of woodcut flowers and other printer's decorations, but not something useful on a day to day basis. Former it used something basic and readable like Liberation Sans. I've had a quick rummage through the various Preferences windows and the documentation, and can't find anything relevant. Inkscape 0.48.x on Ubuntu, if that matters. Thanks, Brian www.warbard.ca
