That is the problem it is installed, I can use it in other programs, but not in inkscape, it is in .ttf format, but I do not know what it is about one .ttf showing in the font list and another .ttf not showing up in that list. Bibi

Font not showing up in Inkscape 0.47pre1, built Jul 3 2009
by Bibi Morris 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

I thought all the ttf fonts not showing up was cleared up in an earlier version. I was trying to use this font in the build Inkscape 0.47pre1, built Jul 3 2009, and it will not show up. Can any one shed light on what may be happening? It also does not show up in Inkscape 0.46, built Apr 1 2008 Those of use with personal die cutting machines are really lost when we cannot use the perfect font! I know it is silly but with over 17,000 fonts, we really find the perfect one and really want to use it. Thanks Bibi

Hi. I want to draw a series of concentric circles, of precise diameters. If I draw a circle about a centre and then resize it, the centre shifts. How do I keep the centre fixed, please? Jim

Release of JessyInk 1.3.0!
by Hannes Hochreiner 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

The JessyInk team is proud to announce the release of JessyInk version 1.3.0. This release features very exciting contributions from Marc Eberhard, who implemented a drawing mode allowing users to draw on the slides during the presentation in the browser. Another interesting new feature is the ability to assign "views." This feature can be used to zoom-in on a particular region of the slide. "Views" provide exciting new ways to enhance your presentations. Also new in this release is the option to customise the key bindings. To further improve the compatibility and usability of JessyInk, custom keys can now be assigned to all actions. For maximum flexibility, each mode (slide, index, drawing) has its own set of key bindings. Be sure to check out the latest JessyInk release and the showcase file at: http://code.google.com/p/jessyink/ About JessyInk: JessyInk is a JavaScript that can be incorporated into an Inkscape SVG image to turn it into an animated presentation. When the image is loaded into an SVG-capable browser, every layer of the image becomes a slide. Some of the many features include transitions, effects, an optional master slide, index sheet and drawing mode, and zoom-based effects.

snapping of guides + node editing questions
by adam ambrus 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

hello, one of my great latest discoveries in inkscape is the Snapping tool (or settings). however, i have a question about snapping a guide to an object/object's node - is it possible? according to the settings (Ctrl+Shift+D -> Snap) it looks like it is, but whenever i drag a guide from the ruler part of the screen, no snapping happens. what am i doing wrong? or is it a bug? also, my second point of interest is the node editing. one of the features i miss the most is the shortening of distance of two randomly selected nodes. in case you know Blender, after selecting vertices and pressing S to scale, their distance shortens/lengthens according to mouse movement. is there in inkscape any way of performing similar actions? thanks for any answer, -Adam

Re: [Inkscape-user] "phantom" objects in .svg files
by Elwin Estle 27 Jul '09

There are a couple of .svg "renderers" for blender (and I think they were probably the scripts you are talking about). I have only played with one of them very briefly. Seemed to work okay, but I can't remember what it was called, and I seem to remember it being kinda buggy, it was probably a year ago that I tried this. Other than that, I can't help you much. But yes, what little I did do was interesting. Blender also had, or used to have, a feature that would export a UV map as an .svg file. One thing that I have found interesting to do is to make some text (or whatever) in Inkscape, import it into Blender, and then apply a lattice modifier to it. You can deform text into some interesting shapes (and it works better than the Inkscape node sculpting thing), then render a .png file in Blender and then import that back into Inkscape and run trace bitmap on it. Blender does have it's own built in text capability, but I find it a lot easer to work with text in Inkscape, then import it into Blender for "3D-ifying". Another neat trick is to make a sort of "sheet" with text cut out of it, then import that into Blender, so you have a large surface with a text shaped hole in the middle. You can then animate a light shining through that hole using the halo feature available with Blender's lighting options. This creates a really cool backlit text effect. I have also just started to experiment with using Blender's "hooks" feature to animate imported Inkscape .svg files. There are a lot of interesting possibilities there. --- On Mon, 7/27/09, Maarten van der Velde <Maarten.van-der-Velde@...2657....> wrote: > From: Maarten van der Velde <Maarten.van-der-Velde@...2171...> > Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] "phantom" objects in .svg files > To: "Inkscape User Community" <inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Monday, July 27, 2009, 2:40 AM > Can I ask you a "counter"-question? > Do you have experience with EXPORTING > from Blender into Inkscape?

"phantom" objects in .svg files
by Elwin Estle 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I am just curious: When you delete an object from your .svg file, does it actually get rid of the associated XML, or just not display it any more? I do a lot of stuff in Inkscape and then import the .svg into Blender for extrusion, etc. I find that sometimes I get "extra" objects in Blender when I do this, i.e., the object that was deleted. ...and I am just wondering where these objects come from...
