Type1 Fonts on Windows XP
by Norvell Spearman 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

How do I configure Inkscape for Windows to see the Type1 fonts I have installed? The GIMP sees them fine (which also uses freetype), as does OpenOffice.org. The font names and corresponding pfb file names even show up in my .fonts.cache-1 file but I still can't see them in Inkscape. Thanks for any answers.

0.46 for linux
by Sridhar M.A. 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

I would like to congratulate the developers for putting out a wonderful program. I have been using inkscape pre-releases downloaded from http://inkscape.modevia.com/ap/?M=D. Presently I am using the inkscape20080328rev18054AOCV.package. After the release, I checked out the above site for the autopackage as well as http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438, but could not find a pre-built version for linux. We find versions for MAC and Windows, but not for linux. I know, we can wait for the distros to release the program, but I have not found that in debian sid till date. Is there a place from where I can get the inkscape 0.46 for debian sid/lenny? Regards, -- Sridhar M.A. GPG KeyID : F6A35935 Fingerprint: D172 22C4 7CDC D9CD 62B5 55C1 2A69 D5D8 F6A3 5935 Quack! Quack!! Quack!!

New 0.46 download english version

You can also choose which translation you want when you install the program (at least in the Windows port). If you don't want tranlation just remove all and Inkscape will just be in english 'cause it will be the only language avaliable on your instalation. Hope it helps. Hystryx.

latex formulae rendering
by Oscar Lopez 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Dear all I've just installed inkscape (Inkscape 0.45.1 (Sep 20 2007))at a kubuntu machine and I am evaluating the graph annotation capabilities of the program using latex. I have also installed: pstoedit: version 3.44, python 2.5.1, PyXML-0.8.4, ghostscript 8.61 latex --version pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6) I am trying make a graph with a simple latex math symbol. Using Effects->Render->LatexFormula and then $\pi$, $\pi$ or \[\pi\] the program freezes up and in a terminal using top I can see that a gs process is taking almost the 100% of the CPU. After some time I should kill the gs and inkscape processes because nothing happens. What am i doing wrong? Are there any system configuration I am missing? Are there any evident bits that I missunderstood? If I am missing something obvious, please bear with me because this is my first try to inkscape. Another concern I have is the use of inkscape in windows because I am starting a documentation project with a colleague that uses windows. I would like to know if the drawing annotation capabilities using latex are fully cross platforms. I mean if the via Effects->Render->LatexFormula works the same way at windows. Thank you very much for any help Best regards

Saving Filters in Inkscape 0.46
by heathenx 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

I'm just getting into the new filters in Inkscape 0.46. So far I have been able to create a few things. I have noticed that setting up a filter at first takes a little time. What are our options regarding saving these filters and applying them to future projects? My instinct wants there to be a "save filter" or "export filter" somewhere. heathenx

Filling for fonts (was: Re: White overlap in glyphs)
by Kyungjun Lee 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi, http://www.truetype-typography.com/ttoutln.htm Here it says: > [O]verlapping shapes [...] are discouraged [...] However if you do choose to use them, you'll discover TrueType uses a non-zero winding fill algorithm. Does this mean Inkscape is against the spec? Can someone look into this, please?

Filter effects for two (or more) objects
by Kurt Hutchinson 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Is my conclusion correct that until feImage is done, other primitives like feBlend, feComposite, and feMerge cannot work directly with two different objects? For example, using feComposite with the Out operator to "punch" a hole in one object shaped like another object. Kurt
