Line art or calligraphy tool tips?
by Matt Jordan 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hello everybody, I'm really excited about the imminent release of 0.43! I've been playing with the latest pre-release and I'm wondering if anyone has tips on the settings for the calligraphy tool. I'd like to use Inkscape, and in particular the calligraphy tool (I think), to do line work for my pencil drawings. (For those of you into comics, I'm essentially wanting to use Inkscape to do my inks digitally.) But so far I can't quite get the sort of taper response I'm looking for. Is it a settings issue or am I asking the program to do something it's not quite ready for? Here's a post on my sketch blog where I'm playing with it and sort of comparing it (albeit unfairly at this point) to Expression 3 (which I'd rather not use): http://www.sketch.mattjordan.com/2005/11/14/inkscape-043/ So, any suggestions on best approaches/settings/etc. for freehand line art? Thanks, Matt Jordan

I expect that the problem with this is that, depending on your document's scale, this might end up throwing all the information away. What if your document contains "0.197509,0.18033 C 0.20842,0.17119 0.2439,0.17525", and all your points are between 0.00000 and 0.99999? I thought of this myself a couple of weeks ago, but it isn't as simple as it might seem. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Dear all, Is there a way to convert a text into individual paths (one separate path for each letter or letter part), which can then be moved or modified individually? Thanks in advance, Herve

Not nagging or anything. But I'm checking out the feature request page for that function every day to see if someone has assigned to do it. When that function is added I can switch to inkscape and use it to draw my animations and I'll credit inkscape in the film and the film will atleast show at film festivals in sweden. Just saying. :) (and pleeeeeease pleeeeease pleeeeeaaseeeee) link to the feature request: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1343044&group_id=9… /regards emil > From: Aaron Digulla <digulla@...310...> > There was the idea floating around that stroking close to an existing > path would adjust it instead of creating a new one. This way, you could > quickly fix misstrokes. Maybe that would help?

Problem adding fonts
by Jordan 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi list, I am running Inkscape 0.42.2 on a Windows XP Pro machine and encountered a strange problem. I did not notice if I was able to successfully add fonts earlier but yesterday I tried to add some and failed to access them trough Inkscape. However, I was able to use some other fonts I remember I installed earlier. Those new fonts I installed yesterday were also available in other graphics programmes I use too. So I searched for the font cache file and deleted it, restarted Inkscape but nothing seemed to have changed, deleted again but the problem persisted. Now, I do not know what to do. Please help me!

Are there any plans to make a small navigation box like in Gimp, for Inkscape? I also like how the one in Photoshop works. -Suthern -- Sent from the Inkscape - User forum at Nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/Navigation-dialog---Wish-t535406.html#a1444258

Now I want join the two corner points so I end up with two shapes/objects. One looking like "-" and the other one like "|". _ T -> | How can I do that? cheers -- Torsten
