Suggestion for New User
by Alan Feuerbacher 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Hi, I recently began using Inkscape on Windows 7 for the first time (0.92.2), and have been having some problems. Since I'm a brand new user, I'm not sure if this is due to my inexperience, or if there are some actual bugs. I've been following an online tutorial from Derek Banas ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qqTAjBaeJ0 ), but it refers to a much older version of Inkscape, and many things don't work the way the tutorial says. I'm almost thinking of using an older version instead of 0.92.2. Any suggestions? Alan --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hey, Is there any way to loop the axidraw print extension? So that I can print multiple copies of the same drawing without having to physically print again and again. Kind regards, Rob Sent from my iPhone

Fwd: HLC-Farbatlas
by Maren Hachmann 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hi there, Christoph has asked me to forward his message, as it didn't get through: -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: HLC-Farbatlas Datum: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 06:32:39 +0100 Hi all, After a year of hard work freieFarbe/freeColour is pleased to announce the completion of its first major project, the "HLC Colour Atlas", which is a truly open colour system based on mathematics and unrestricted by copyrights or trademarks. It has been created by colour professionals from Germany and Switzerland. The atlas comprises the following elements: - a printed reference (A4, ring binder) of 2040 colours, based on the intuitive HLC colour model (Hue, Lightness, Chroma), with increments of 10 between each hue. It also includes colours that can't be reproduced in regular CMYK workflows (spot colours). Unlike commercial products, its colour precision is extremely high, with a DeltaE00 of 0.5, i.e. colour differences between two copies of the atlas can only be measured but not perceived, even by a trained eye. Each atlas is being produced with a Fogra-certified high-end proof printer on Fogra-certified paper by a Fogra-certified company. Each copy is also being shipped with a production record (ISO 12647-7:2016); - a printed introduction and usage instructions in German and English; - colour palettes with LAB values for Adobe software (ASE format) and in Swatchbooker's SBZ format, as well as sRGB versions for LibreOffice (SOC), GIMP (GPL) and Scribus 1.4.x (XML). Please note that Scribus 1.5.x already includes the SBZ file, and an sRGB version is being shipped with LibreOffice since version 5.4.x, as well as the current officially stable Scribus 1.4.6. - A PDF master file of the atlas with layers for different output targets (e.g. sRGB, ISOCoatedV2); - XSLX files with colour conversion tables and QC report; - a CxF v.3 file which includes the colour data in spectral values. All files are available for download here: https://www.freiefarbe.de/thema-farbe/software/ The latter is important, because we want to enable others to create their own reliable references without having to ask for permission or paying licence fees. Thus, an ink manufacturer can simply load the CxF file into its formulation software and create the correct mix for his particular inks. Manufacturers of other colourants (e.g. paint, textile colours or plastics) can do the same, provided their software is supporting CxF, which is an open standard. This is also the reason for us not to publish any mixing recipes, because all necessary data to reliably recreate a colour are in the CxF file, so the recipes can be created and customised by software. Whilst the digital files are available for free download under a CC licence, the printed reference needs to be paid for, because production and certification are quite labour-intensive (introductory offer: EUR 99.-- until 31 March 2018, later: EUR 149.-- plus VAT and shipment costs; see: https://shop.proof.de/index.php?language=en). freieFarbe/freeColour are convinced that the "HLC Colour Atlas" is not only a true and open alternative to Pantone, HKS etc., but we also think that the very high quality standard of our printed reference will be hard to match. Our next step is to fill in the necessary paperwork to make this open colour system a DIN SPEC with the German industrial standards organisation DIN (April/May 2018). From there it will hopefully be moved on to ISO to make it an international standard (time frame unknown). Special credits go to Matthias Betz, Holger Everding, Jan-Peter Homann and Eric A. Soder, who did all the heavy lifting, as well as Gregory Pittman, who wrote a Scribus script that reduced the creation of the print PDF for the Atlas to a matter of seconds. freieFarbe/freeColour is also grateful to ColorLogic GmbH, Epson Deutschland GmbH and GMG GmbH & Co KG for generous technical support. The high quality of the atlas is owed to the producer, Proof GmbH. Christoph

Using font with named variants
by Joel C. Salomon 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

I’m trying to use the fonts from <http://dharmatype.com/post/84395901752/great-victorian>. Google Chrome displays the correct fonts when I use “|font-family:'Great Victorian Standard';|”, “|font-family:'Great Victorian Swashed';|”, or “|font-family:'Great Victorian Swashed SC';|”, but Inkscape complains—it wants the font-family to be “Great Victorian”, and does not offer me the option to select the variants. I’ve checked the bug database, and this might be an example of <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/165521>, but is there a work-around someone can suggest? —Joel C. Salomon

Re: [Inkscape-user] Looking for drop shadow filter (0.92.2)

I didn't identify the menu item because the german translation "Abgesetzter Schatten" is unusual, at least I have never read that before. Usually "Schlagschatten" is used. And the default settings were so weird that I didn't recognize it as drop shadow effect :) Cheerz, Lars

Looking for drop shadow filter (0.92.2)
by Lars Behrens 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi all, just wondering if there is a drop shado filter dialog in inkscape? Scrolling through the filter list I didn't find one, only different kinds of shadow filter. Of course I know how to create a drop shadow but repeating it over and over and memorizing the settings is a bit tedious. Cheerz, Lars

SVG Version 1.2 vs 1.1
by Bernhard Kleine 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi, I encounter problems with the Oxygen XML editor due to the fact that the SVG inkscape produces are Version 1.2 which the Batik renderer can not fully parse since it does only use SVG Version 1.1. The easiest way to solve the issue would be to restrict inkscape saving to Version 1.1. How can I achieve this?

Chromatic Aberration Filters Proposal
by Fabien Fellay 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi all, I released some filters that allow emulating a very basic chromatic aberration effect. They are available here with some explanations: < https://inkscape.org/da/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-filters > They come with some animated examples as well: < https://inkscape.org/en/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-rgb-cm… > < https://inkscape.org/en/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-rc-cr-… > < https://inkscape.org/en/~fabien.fellay/%E2%98%85chromatic-aberration-with-r… > I later noticed that Inkscape already has similar filters available in the menu Filters > Color > Nudge RGB/CMY... However, the proposed filters here differ slightly regarding the alpha channel management and they do not flood the background with any color. If one just want to apply quickly a basic chromatic aberration effect, I think those filters may come in handy. In the hope that someone will like them or find them useful. Best regards, Fabien

Reusing similar images/vectors across multiple projects
by Kale Good 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Hello, My use case is this: I want to use inkscape to annotate my pdf music scores. Basically "highlighting" stuff different sections and adding text, etc for performance directions. One thing I'd like to be able to do is quickly and easily add common musical symbols (examples here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font#dynamic-…) (I'm not sure why the heading is "Feta Font" and then it mentions "Emmentaler font"). The example show is already on my system and open-source. I have SVG font files files (which I've never used and aren't showing up in my Character Map software) and .otf (I think; or some other common font format) files. Additionally, I can have the music program export each character/musical symbol as an individual SVG. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to use a character map application. On inspection, that seems to be less than optimal to say the least (the fonts that lilypond uses seem to be spread through about 10 different font files, and may fields are empty. I have a very, very hard time finding them there). It seems like it would be easier to memorize the 30-50 utf encodings + the specific font name (is it emmenalter-15 or emmenalter-16?) than using that. And, obviously that isn't easy. Additionally, some font characters often appear together (for example, the symbol for /forte, f/ often appears with an /m/ in front of it as a modifier), and that just adds some complexity. The other solution I think may be useful for other, more common use-cases; however, I can't seem to find any implementation of it. So, barring some unforeseen solution there, I think the better option is this: to have some sort of "bank" or "library" docked tab that I can add the desired symbols/shapes to. Then I can just drag and drop these into different projects (this would probably involve having lilypond export each desired symbol, opening the resulting SVG file in Inkscape, and copying each vector into the "library"). Does this functionality exist somewhere that I'm just missing?
