Inkscape on DeviantArt
by Joshua A. Andler 02 May '05

02 May '05

This is a follow-up to a post made back in January regarding Inkscape's presence on DeviantArt (DA)... Over time, more and more artwork is being submitted to DA that was created using Inkscape. Since we had initially started the "Inkscape" group/account on DA, we quickly realized that there are two groups of people that have exclusive needs to be met. 1) The DA Inkscape artists needed a hub to share work, talk inkscape, have friendly competitions, etc. & 2) The developers and new users of Inkscape need a place to view/show a gallery of quality images made in Inkscape by the DA community. The problem with having one account is that it DA has policies such as restricting the use of favorites from members of a group, which given the mutually restrictive needs (due to their policies), we needed a separation of interests. So... onto the announcement. http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/ is now *the* place for all DA Artists that are Inkscapers to gather for all of the fun. We currently are in need of an Avatar, DevID, and website button... which is where the first contest comes into play... all the details can be found at http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/journal/4986039/. http://inkscape.deviantart.com/ is now for official use by the Inkscape project for a showcase of work from the community as well as for official announcements and such. Feel free to drop by there to see art done by fellow inkscapers in the favorites (http://inkscape.deviantart.com/favourites/). If you have previously watched the "inkscape" account, there's no need to stop watching as you'll get announcements about new releases through it. But, you will definitely want to watch "inkscapers" (http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/) to become a part of the DA Inkscape community and to join in on the fun. Happy Inkscaping and Draw Freely! -Josh/ScislaC-

[Fwd: Re: [Inkscape-user] Snapshot Problems]
by Richard Kowalczyk 02 May '05

Another similar issue: unicode seems to be broken on the latest snapshot. All unicode characters automatically get moved to the top of the page, and it is impossible to move them from that location. Sorry for the continuous stream of problems. -- Richard Kowalczyk <richk@...489...>

Snapshot Problems
by Richard Kowalczyk 02 May '05

02 May '05

I needed some of the recent improvements - specifically, flowed text and the ability to change the format of individual characters, so I downloaded and installed a snapshot. However, I am having problems with files converted from ps. The import that worked find on the 0.41 release is not importing properly with the snapshots I have downloaded (inkscape-20050429-1520, inkscape-20050501-1240). Specifically, the text and the path's are no longer "lining up". I attached a screenshot of the 0.41 release of inkscape (on the left) and the snapshot (on the right), as well as the svg file. The intermediate skencil file looks fine (in skencil). As a side question, is it a bad idea to email this list with problems like this (snapshots)? Should i file a bug instead? File a bug and email? -- Richard Kowalczyk <richk@...489...>

Inkscape HelpWanted page
by Bryce Harrington 01 May '05

01 May '05

Hi guys, I've started a new wiki page 'HelpWanted', to list tasks where help is needed. This is similar to but different from the InkscapeJanitors page in that HelpWanted is focused on non-coding work needed. In particular, I've listed a bunch of Wiki update tasks that I think should be done. Please take a look and see if there's areas you can put in a few spare cycles. Also, don't be shy about adding other non-coding tasks needed that you know of! http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?HelpWanted Bryce

English tutorials converted
by bulia byak 01 May '05

01 May '05

May 1st, 2005 — Thanks to the active help from the community, all English tutorials that we had in SVG are now converted to DocBook! From within Inkscape, they are still available as fully editable SVG which you can play with, but having the DocBook source makes it easy to produce any other formats or renditions automatically. In particular, all converted tutorials are now availble in HTML, linked from our Documentation page. What's next? We have several of the tutorials translated into several languages. Now we need to convert these to DocBook as well. Here is a page http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TranslationInformation with details on how to translate tutorials or convert existing translations. We already have the Basic in Spanish and several French ones are being worked on; the rest are up for grabs. Pick a tutorial and make it available in your native language! -- bulia byak Inkscape.

simple pattern fill won't print, but it shows up in Inkscape
by charles 01 May '05

01 May '05

Hello all, I'm getting the hang of Inkscape after using it for a few months. All is going well, but I'm hung up on a problem with pattern fills. Here's the situation: I'm running Inkscape .41 on a Debian Linux system (unstable). I have a document with a simple cross-hatch pattern fill. (I actually borrowed it from this helpful tutorial: http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/samples/patterns.shtml) The pattern fill shows up properly in Inkscape, but it's not visible when I print. I don't think it's a problem with my printer driver, as I've printed both to the actual printer (Lexmark E210) as well as the generic CUPS-PDF printer, which generates a PDF file. In both cases, the shapes in which the fill should appear are simply white. I've attached the file--it's only a few KB. If anyone is able to help, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks kindly, Charles. n.b.: please do cc me on replies.
