Can't export to PNG.
by Blake 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Hey, Inkscapers, I have a new install of Inkscape 0.44 running on WinXP and I don't seem to have the export to PNG option. It's not in the File..Save As dialog. Ctrl+Shift+E/File->Export Bitmap does nothing. I guess a dialog is supposed to pop up here but all that happens is the screen flashes and the window loses focus. Any ideas? Thanks, ===Blake===

Fill part of an object without border
by Florian Schmitz 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi. I am new to Inkscape and have a seemingly simple problem, but I can't find a solution for it. I would like to create something like the yellow-pink egg as shown in the easter egg tutorial (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1493939&group_id=9…), however, without black borders at the top and bottom of the yellow area. Another example for what I want to achieve is http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Inkscapepiom1.png/… The wings of that insect have a darker area which touches the border of the wings (I don't want there to be a gap between the darker area and the border though) but does not have a border itself. I had a look at all tutorials I could find so far, but none of them gave me a hint. I hope that someone can enlighten me :) Regards, Florian

Font size change not working properly
by H.Fagard 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi all, I open with Inkscape a SVG document created with another app. Most things look fine, but I would like to change the font size of text objects. After I select a few or all characters using the text tool, the Tool Control Font Size tells me the size is 15.023. Therefore choosing 18 in the pop-up menu should make the text slightly bigger. On the contrary, my text becomes tiny (totally unreadable). If I do the same thing, but using the Text and Font dialog, I enter 18 as the Font size, but when I click on Apply this is changed to "1.6199" and my text is tiny. On the other hand, if I select all the text using the Selection tool then switching to the text tool, the size change works fine, both through the Tool Control and through the Text and Font dialog. Is this a (known) bug? Thanks in advance, Herve

how can one control the export bitmap quality
by Albert 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

I've made a poster of 5000 x 8000 pixels (the canvas in document preferences). I would to print it as is, without losing one single pixel of resolution of the images I've stitched into the poster. I would appreciate some clarifications: - How is one to print the poster now at maximum quality? - Can I choose to export to eps? I did that two weeks ago in an ubuntu-dapper machine, but now in this kubuntu-dapper laptop I can't see how to export to eps from the Inkscape's menus. - How can one control the quality of the saved .png when exporting a bitmap? How does the '90' DPI default resolution in inkscape preferences relate to this? Thanks for any insights. Albert

Graded fills in EPS figures
by Chris de Villiers 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi I understand that, in order to be able to render graded objects correctly when used as EPS files (e.g., in LaTex, GsView etc.), I have to remove transparency and use two different colours for the grading. How do I do this? Also, why does an EPS figure created by Adobe Illustrator not have this problem? I'm using Inkscape 0.44. Thanks.

Why does Inkscape not recognize my Type1-Fonts (installed in Windows\Fonts and gs\fonts) and let me use it? It just shows me my TrueTypeFonts?! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Type1-Fonts--tf2128876.html#a5875142 Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com.

Remove unecessary nodes from path
by Aaron Digulla 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hello, "Simplify path" has the disadvamtage that it cuts so many nodes away that the new path looks different. Is it possible to get a second version of that command which tries to remove as many nodes as possible without changing the shape? Maybe using the new node-delete which also tries to preserve the node shape. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.
