Dashed rectangle
by Christer.Lindée 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I guess I have clicked something I shouldnt have! After having used the shapes tools (star, rectangle and circle) for a while, something happens so I only get a dashed rectangle instead of the shape. What have I done? Christer HYPERLINK "https://www.plaxo.com/add_me?u=34360485559&v0=1489894&k0=-882027496&v1=1489 895&k1=-1698027294" \nAdd me to your address book...

PostScript fonts print as Courier when Inkscape exports to EPS
by Niall Mansfield 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

When I save a drawing as EPS, and print it, some or all of the PostScript fonts are incorrect, and show as Courier instead. (When I view the EPS in Ghostview on Linux, everything looks fine.) Here are two slightly different cases: 1. Font is Helvetica Narrow Bold: All text items print as Courier. I get a similar result when I run the EPS through Adobe Distiller (which I did just to see what's happening); it reports: Helvetica Narrow-Bold not found, using Courier. Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1 not found, using Courier. 2. Font is Times Bold: First text item prints correctly, others print as Courier. When run through Adobe Distiller, it whinges: Times-Bold-ISOLatin1 not found, using Courier. Note: only one message, not two as above. My messy workaround: ------------------- If I edit the EPS file (diff shown), it works. (I.e. insert an extra dash in the font name wherever it's used, and use the original font name, without the -ISOLatin1 suffix.) 65c65 < /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1) /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold) newlatin1font --- > /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1) /(Helvetica-Narrow-Bold) newlatin1font 88c88 < /(Helvetica Narrow-Bold-ISOLatin1) findfont --- > /(Helvetica-Narrow-Bold) findfont Is there a better solution to this? (Presumably we're not the only site having this problem?) Inkscape 0.44.1 on Windows XP Printers used: HP4050TN PostScript and HP3700DN PostScript. (Running Inkscape on Linux isn't currently an option, alas, because of o/s versions.) Thanks, Niall

inkscape doesn't like my serial wacom tablet
by Dwain Alford 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

hi, i've been following the thread about inkscape running slow. there was something that the poster said that triggered this email. it had to do with a dialog box going blank. that's the problem i have with the external devices. first inkscape said there was no external devices. i reset the external devices to normal, reset the settings on my tablet and rebooted the machine (w2kSP4,786mb ram,pIII 450mhz processor - and yes it runs the program ;^) - with a serial wacom gd (#1) tablet). when i opened the external device dialog box the wacom puck shows the settings, but when i try to look at the stylus and eraser settings, the box settings disappear and it seems that the function locks up except for being able to exit. i don't remember this being a problem in 0.44. any ideas? oh yeah, it happens in gimp too. dwain -- dwain alford p.o. box 145 winfield, alabama 35594 u.s.a. tele: 205.487.2570 cell: 205.495.5619

Snaping to Objects
by Marc Fouquet 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hello, I have a problem regarding the "Snap nodes to Objects" feature. When I created a simple test document, the feature worked as expected. I drew some straight lines and moved them and their ends snapped together. When I tried exactly the same thing in a more complex document (not too complex, a 33kB SVG-File), it didn't work any more, "Snap nodes to Objects" appeared to have no effect at all. The fun part is that I tried copying the objects in question back into a plain document - and then it worked again. Any ideas? Thanks Marc -- Dipl.-Inform.

question about eps under inkscape
by Elwin Estle 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

I tried to export a graphic I created in Inkscape to eps. It worked, sort of. It seemed to trash my gradients, making them solid, and it looked like there was no anti aliasing. Does eps not support gradients? Or is support for eps incomplete in Inkscape? ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.

Re: [Inkscape-user] I'd prefer guides per layer
by momo 14 Feb '07

IMO a much better improvement of the guides would be colored guides, so they could be distinguishable.

To Scale Drawing
by Brian Cochran 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

I'm using inkscape for crime scene drawing. It works great and is very easy to teach. I have tried to do to scale drawings and been unable to do so. What I'm looking for is 1 inch = 60 inch type feature. I'm fairly certain there is no easy way to do that now. I was wondering if this was a feature that might in enough demand that it maybe included in future releases? If not any ideas on a work around would be great.
