Dear Kolbjørn, All downloads are the same, the contain all languages. Your computer is asking for Norwegian when it loads Inkscape. But you can override this in the preferences. Best place to ask for help is chat.inkscape.org as I'm just a website administrator. Good luck!

Intermittent unexpected behavior with text vertical spacing
by Steve Litt 12 Dec '20

12 Dec '20

Hi all, I have version "1.0.1 (unknown)" on Void Linux that's within 2 days of being up to date. I have a text item whose vertical spacing is 0.8 lines. When I re-edit this text item, move somewhere within it, and press the Enter key, instead of splitting into two lines spaced 0.8 lines apart, it writes the second half of the line right on top of the first half. This happens only under certain circumstances which I haven't yet identified. This slows me down tremendously because I can't just dupe a text item and edit into something similar. Because it becomes unreadable, my ability to make it readable again depends on my using enough undos to undo it, rather than deleting the added newline. It REALLY slows me down. I've attached a file whose dark red text has this problem. Has anybody else seen this behavior? What circumstances make it happen? Is there a workaround? Thanks, Steve SteveT Steve Litt Autumn 2020 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times http://www.troubleshooters.com/thrive

text-on-path text-to-path
by Jordan Holberg 03 Dec '20

Hi, everyone! Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, or confirm this isn't possible. Given this SVG (which renders as text-on-path, meaning the text's baseline is the defined path): <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 872.55 872.55"> <path id="signaturePath" fill="none" stroke="none" d="M117,435a318,318 0 1,0 636,0a318,318 0 1,0 -636,0" /> <text style='font-size: 1.25em; opacity: 0.75; font-family: monospace;'> <textPath href="#signaturePath" startOffset='15%'> SOME TEXT HERE </textPath> </text></svg> I'd like to, using the command-line convert the text to paths:inkscape --export-plain-svg=converted.svg --export-text-to-path curveText.svg Unfortunately, while this does convert the text to paths, it does not keep the text placed ON the path; it just outputs paths in a straight line. Is the desired result achievable?
