Missing shared library when running Inkscape alpha (Snap)
by Jonas Timothy 10 May '19

10 May '19

Hi, I couldn’t launch Snap version of Inkscape, and when I tried launching from CLI, I got this: $ snap run inkscape inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Any way I could work around this, or should I downgrade to 0.92.4?

We are heavily using this chat across all parts of the project at the moment. Do we need to worry about stability? Thanks for any advice. -C On Sun, 5 May 2019, 20:04 Manuel Jesús Recena Soto, <recena@...155...> wrote: > Hello Ryan, > > If you believe this chat service is critical, I suggest you to schedule a > meeting with infrastructure team in order to find a better solution. > > Regards, > > On Sat, May 4, 2019 at 2:02 AM Ryan Gorley via Inkscape-devel < > inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > >> Hello All, >> Due to the certificate error on chat.inkscape.org, some individuals may >> be scared away from participating in our meeting tomorrow.

Set font for whole file without losing other formatting (in SVG?)
by BPJ 05 May '19

05 May '19

It seems I cannot change the font family globally in all text objects in the GUI using the font dialog. It also seems that when I change the font family for an individual object through the font dialog subscript and size formatting for parts of the text is lost. Thus I'm looking to change the font by editing the SVG produced by Inkscape in a text editor, but that seems to be more complicated than I expected. Upon inspecting the SVG produced by Inkscape I see that each `<text>` *and* `<tspan>` element has a `style` attribute with comprehensive font style info --- essentially all the font formatting properties. This seems a bit wasteful since I use the same font at the same size throughout the drawing, only adding the occasional bold weight and some subscripts here and there. It may make little difference given the (many) paths in the drawing, but is there any way to set things up so that most font properties are inherited from/set once in as high a node as possible? I'm looking to change the font face used and changing it by search&replace in lots of places --- the font name appears twice in each `<text>` or `<tspan>` `style` attribute! --- seems like a heavy-handed way to do it. /bpj

Hello All, Due to the certificate error on chat.inkscape.org, some individuals may be scared away from participating in our meeting tomorrow. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but if the error isn't resolved in the next couple hours I'm going to suggest we postpone our meeting one week. I'll update everyone on the status a little later. - Ryan

How to know viewbox parameters on save
by Ole Ersoy 02 May '19

02 May '19

Trying to figure out whether there is a deterministic way to save an optimized SVG such that we can match the viewbox parameters perfectly with the containing HTML elements width and height parameters. For example if we have a div element like this: <div style="width: 100px; height:100px"> <svg> ...</svg></div> How do we save an SVG so that it gets a viewbox that will fit perfectly inside the div when we inline it as shown above? Also asked the question on SO, but I'm hoping there is a more straight forward way to do this. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55958117/setting-the-viewbox-so-that-th… TIA, Ole

Repairing a pixellated drop-shadow gradient
by Peter Flynn 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

I have inherited a vector PDF and an SVG file of a logo made from outlined letters with a gradated drop-shadow (see http://xml.silmaril.ie/downloads/letterlogo.png for enlarged PNG fragment). When the logo is enlarged (eg for use on a poster), the drop-shadow shows up pixellated. Both files exhibit the identical problem. When edited, the drop-shadow is indeed made up of pixels. I assume in my ignorance that it was passed through some software at some stage in its past which concretized the drop-shadow as graded pixels. How would I go about removing the drop-shadow entirely, and replacing it with one of identical color and extent, but done in such a way as to withstand enlargement without deterioration? Peter
