divots in bevels
by Steven Parkes 15 Feb '11

In trying to do a minimal amount of glitz for a button with the beveling filter, it comes out with a bit of a divot. The result is at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11615635/lump.png Something to do with the house/home shape? Any way to cajole it into not doing that?

cutting a sharp hole through a blurred object
by Steven Parkes 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this, but my inkscape skills aren't too strong. I have a drawing that at the lowest level has an irregular glow. It's a freehand path-based polygon with a heavy blur on it. The blur is all alpha. On top of this is path-based, alpha=1 object; nothing special. I need to knockout an interior region of this to an alpha of zero. It's easy to knockout the alpha=1 object with path difference. However, I can't figure out how to cut a hole in the underlying glow-producing path. It's easy enough to do the path difference, but this actually cuts a hole in the glow-producing path which then blurs into the interior, the part I want to be alpha=0. What I'd like to do is kinda multiply the alpha channel of two paths/groups. The (incorrect) approximation of this is to take the png that I produce at the end and map a particular color to the alpha channel. This doesn't handle the anti-aliased edges correctly. Any suggestions?

Re: [Inkscape-user] Fonts, fonts & more fonts

Gaz: That sounds like a lot of fonts. I'd use a font manager to create groups (based on style, typology, etc.) and load and unload them when necessary. Having so many fonts active will only make difficult to choose, will make applications start slower and won't help much. For linux you can use FontyPython or Font Manager

Where to find SVG artists/designers?
by Philip Rhoades 08 Feb '11

People, I have been on this list for quite a while because I am interested in SVG but I have to give one of my web sites a new look and feel and it occurs to me that there are some great people out there (who are much more artistically creative than I am) who could design a new logo, style sheet etc for us. I looked at DeviantArt but I couldn't see how to get a message into their system. What I am thinking of is maybe having a competition with prize money for the best SVG suite that is produced - how would I go about this? Is there a more appropriate list for this proposal? Any suggestions? The site to be revamped is: http://neuralarchivesfoundation.org For more info about what we are looking for, people could mail me: phil AT neuralarchivesfoundation DOT org (that will bypass my vicious spam filter) Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...

Any suggestions? Hi Phil, maybe the contest is nice idea. The problem is that in this kind of issues the difficulty of decide which design is the 'best'. One possibility is to organize the contest where the prize's selection system is decided crowdly by votations between an open community of designers. If you need this selection and you dont have the device to do it, one choice is build it on your own. Maybe is a nice idea to select material or styles in order to choose your collaborators. salut xà! -- GDT >> http://noconventions.mobi/graficantsDtrisseny/ dAAX! >> http://noconventions.mobi/x! tAZ >> http://noconventions.mobi/nvisible.taz/ HTDj! >> http://hackthedj.wordpress.com/ :::..::.......:.. : .. .. .:: . ..:.. .. . .. . .:.. ....... rm -rf / i ens ho carreguem tot.... >> The site to be revamped is: >> >> http://neuralarchivesfoundation.org >> >> For more info about what we are looking for, people could mail me: >> >> phil AT neuralarchivesfoundation DOT org >> >> (that will bypass my vicious spam filter) >> >> Thanks, >> >> Phil. >> -- >> Philip Rhoades >> >> GPO Box 3411 >> Sydney NSW 2001 >> Australia >> E-mail: phil@...2067...

Fonts, fonts & more fonts
by Gary Hawkins 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

HI I have over 1000 fonts and not the room to store them all on the home drive I use a mac running OSX (snow leopard) so I moved some fonts to an external drive. Now what is the best way to use these fonts with inkscape - currently have 0.48 but use 0.47 now & then with my black cat cougar electronic die cutter A short term solution is I drag the font I want to my fonts folder but it would be nice if I could access the external drive fonts from within inkscape as I don't always know what font I want until I am part way into the design. Can I do this or am I just going to have to either bog down the system with the fonts or drag them over as I need them and re-start inkscape every time? Thanks Gaz
