gradient bug?
by hjenkins 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

To reproduce: 1. Make multiple polygons, with different positions. 2. Select all of them. 3. Add a gradient. 4. Add a direct repeat to the gradient The repeat only appears in one of the polygons, although the non-repeating gradient appears in all polygons. The expected behaviour would be for the gradient to repeat in all the polygons. Sequentially deleting the gradients reveals that there is in fact a separate gradient for each polygon, although they all have identical co-ordinates. Examples attached. Inkscape 0.92.4 Debian Buster

Hi I’m new to Inkscape, and so far I must say it’s great, however, I’ve been trying to figure out how to download free fonts into the program. I’ve followed a lot of steps and it’s in my fonts control panel but do not show up in Inkscape. Please help Thank you Sent from my iPhone

Inkscape booth at Kielux - help present Inkscape in Kiel!
by Maren Hachmann 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

Hi, I'm looking for a second person to staff the Inkscape booth in Kiel at Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage on September 20th and 21st this year. As I'm also presenting at and co-organizing the event, it would be really good if there were someone else who can help, even if only for a few hours. You don't need to be an expert in Inkscape, but you should bring some motivation and enthusiasm for the program and its capabilities. More info about the event is available at: https://kielux.de There will also be some very interesting talks and workshops, and you'll have direct access to Inkscape stickers (at least those are planned) and fresh info about the latest developments :) If you'd like to join me, please reply to this email! Hope to hear from you Maren

Re: Making Inkscpe SVGs accessible to screen readers

I was advised by Maren Hachmann that I should continue my thread on the new Inkscape Users mailing list. The full archived thread can be found here : https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-user/thread/CAJc06ShUYM… . Here are my last two posts : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, Jun 6, 2019 at 10:01 PM brynn <brynn(a)frii.com> wrote: > Too bad that JAWS program doesn't have a free version.

It's free to use, but not open source and it only runs on Windows. It's better than nothing though :) Regards, Jonathan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 3:39 PM Arlo Barnes <arlo.barnes(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 11:30 AM Jonathan Busby <jonathanbusby(a)gmail.com> = wrote: >> >> I've been trying to make SVGs exported from Inkscape accessible to >> screen readers for an article I'm editing on Wikipedia. > > Just making sure you know that Wikipedia thumbnails to PNG, so unless you= are directing people to the file itself (which you can, Wikimedia Commons = is for many purposes) semantic contents will not come through in an article= .
