Ann: A new version of FontyPython - TTF manager for Gnu/Linux
by Donn 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello all, please forgive the intrusion ... If anyone wants to manage TTF fonts under Linux, then FontyPython should do the trick. I just finished and released version 0.2.0 which is my second release onto: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fontypython I have attached a screeny so you can get a quick idea of what it's all about. If anyone wants to help me, we could get it working with other font types too. I know nothing at all about Type 1 and company. I hope there are no showstopping bugs, enjoy. Donn.

Mask/Clip is kinda hard to use
by Donn 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello, I don't know if I'm alone in this, but the mask/clip options in vers x.x are very hard to use. The results are hard to predict. Colours of objects will change (depending on fore/back ground order etc). Also, the difference between clip and mask is not clear. I come from a (distant) background in Macromedia Freehand and in that world they had a concept called "Paste Inside". 1. Now that made perfect sense and was perfectly predictable. One did not have to setup a bunch of "tests" on the side. 2. You could select items within the mask, and easily edit/move them. In Inkscape 0.44, I get the feeling that those items are new and experimental, perhaps they will get a better user interface - I'm not sure where the coders are at now, I know they move really fast on a thousand fronts. Anyway, any pointers? /d

pattern-fills scale according to former transformations of an object
by Henning Lorenz 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

How do I reset former transformations/scaling of an object? When I fill an object with a pattern, it becomes scaled according to earlier scaling applied to the object. However, I want several objects which have different "scaling-histories" to fill with the same pattern in the same scale. How can I do this? Thanks! Henning

pattern mismatch
by Henning Lorenz 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

I try to construct a regularly spaced, diagonally striped pattern. Beginning with on diagonal line in the upper left corner, "tile clone" produces a mismatch between the columns and the rows. When I construct the pattern by hand and use it on an object I get similar mismatches between the pattern-tiles. An example to visualize the problem: I fetched this pattern from openclipart.org: http://openclipart.org/clipart//special/patterns/pattern-pinstripes-diagona… An object filled with this pattern looks fine. Now, convert with "pattern to objects" (which I did to change the colour) and convert back with "objects to pattern". An object filled with the resulting pattern shows the mismatch. Then I changed the colour in the source, but there is a principal question: Is something wrong and if so, what? And why doesn't this affect the "pattern-pinstripes-diagonal" pattern? Maybe I just missed an important point in constructing patterns in inkscape? Cheers, Henning

cross compilation
by sylvain 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hi,I know it may not be the best mailing list to do that but as i heard you know how to do it and i didn't find resources elsewhere, i'll ask it here.It seems that you manage to cross compile programs using gtk and autotools, so as i try to cross-compile c++/gtkmm programs, i'd like to know if someone could contact me to give me some resources and help about cross-compiling such programs. I apologies for the inconvenience.And thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Essayez Live.com, votre nouvelle page d'accueil !

Just this week I was made aware of this problem by a friend: creating a guide management UI has been added to my to do list!
