printing problems in 0.43
by Michal Žeravík 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hi all, I have problems with printing since 0.41. I set page A4, draw graphics and print. But all is moved by half of a page up on paper. I've made it by Print direct.. "| lp" before, but this function disappeared. Running on gentoo64, cups-1.1.23-r4. All other apps are printing well. Any ideas? Should I send some logs? thank you Michal >From MAILER-DAEMON Tue Dec 20 02:33:33 2005 Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 11:44:32 +0100 From: Postmaster@...1410...

Mac OSX 10.4.3 issue
by Matt Jordan 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hello, I had recommended Inkscape to a friend who, it turns out, uses Mac OSX 10.4.3 and he had trouble. I thought I'd pass along his response (see below) just in case it's helpful to the developers and just in case someone can pass along a fix. (I use Inkscape on Win XP and have no knowledge of Mac stuff, so my apologies if this is already known.) Matt > >Hey, Matt! > >Unfortunately, Inkscape doesn't play nice with Mac OSX 10.4.3.

PDF bounding box on Linux
by David Finlayson 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

When I SAVE AS pdf a drawing with a custom page size, the PDF always looks like it's on A4 paper---even when the drawing is a fraction of that size. Is there a way to get a proper bounding box on the drawing? I've found that the only thing that works is to save as EPS, then use eps2pdf to convert the drawing. It works, but it rasterizes the drawing in evince and looks like crap. There has been a lot of traffic on the mailing list about PDF, from which I've gleaned that there are problems with PDF, but I wasn't able to nail down exactly what works today on what platforms, and how best to convert an Inkscape drawing to PDF today. (on Linux) Thanks for any clarifications I'm using inkscape-0.42.2, built from .tar.bz source on Ubuntu 5.10 -- David Finlayson Marine Geology & Geophysics School of Oceanography Box 357940 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195-7940 USA Office: Marine Sciences Building, Room 112 Phone: (206) 616-9407 Web: http://students.washington.edu/dfinlays

System font size on windows
by Mark Ainsworth 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Can anyone out there help please? I've just upgraded from .42.2 to .43 and now all the menu and status bar fonts are too small to read. I'm running on Windows XP. I can't find any settings in the program to change. I've read the posting about changing gtk-font-name="verdana" etc. Although this just change some displays, it doesn't change the top menu line, or the status line at the bottom of the window. Version 42.2 was displaying at a size that was quite readable. Help. Thanks Mark.

I wouldn't have minded using Linux, but I still don't have mine talking to my favorite printer. I did find this utility that got the job done: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141842 It has about the nicest UI for this type of thing I've seen with plenty of control over the paper orientation and overlap. If they ever do integrate such a feature for native svg files, I'd like to see something like this. Unfortunately it requires the use of an intermediate bit mapped file (PNG is ok). By default Inkscape exports bitmaps at 90 dpi. You will probably want to increase that (from the Misc tab on Inkscape Preferences dialog) to something closer to your printer resolution, but the file sizes grow quite fast. Output goes to a PDF file. I hope someone finds this useful. Bob M
