Using Post-Script Fonts in Inkscape
by sp_lists＠...391... 10 Jan '05

My last action was to use Post-Script Fonts in Inkscape, those, wich installed with Adobe Type Manager. I can see the fonts in other applications (OpenOffice, FreeType in GIMP) but not in Inkscape. Any suggestions? Feature request? THX Stefan Pampel

Wish: Autosimplify + Autocollapse after tracing
by plagiats 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi everyone, With the colorfull new version of bitmap tracing included in Inkscape, the pleasure of designing with vectors made a giant step in my heart. By the way after tracing a picture, I always use the option to "simplify path" (Ctrl+F). Cause else there are too many anchor to work on the shape effisciently. "Simplifying" tool does a great job and is easy to use with monochrome tracing. But it's a pain to use with colorfull shape. You have to select all anchors of each shape (one by one). Painfull. And it creates some holes beetwen the shapes. So my wish, or call it a suggestion :), is to add in the tracing dialog box two checkboxes. One asking to "Auto-simplify" the shapes and the other one to "Auto-collapse" gaps between generated shapes. What do developpers think about it ? This two checkboxes would blow my mind... Have a nice day, Denis.

removing "SP* Properties" dialogs
by bulia byak 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I want to remove "SP* Properties" dialogs that are listed in the right-click menu of shape objects. Reasons: - they use technical terms without any explanations and are therefore confusing - they don't stay on top (I just didn't bother with them, planning to remove them eventually) - they're very limited (no units, no live update from selection) - most importantly, they're now completely redundant: if you want access to the raw attributes, use the XML editor; if you want convenient units, explanations, and live update from selection, use the controls bars of the corresponding tools. So I'd like to know if anyone is really using them, and if so, why and what needs to be done to help these users move away from this ancient remnant to more modern facilities. In other words, is there any unique functionality or convenience in them that I'm failing to see?

Well, I have just tried to install gtk+2-devel, but yast is now telling me I need to install gtk+2 = 2.1.0 and gtk-doc-common. As the error I got trying to install gtk+2 was that I need to install gtk+2 devel I am completely confused. Thanks for taking the time so far, can you offer one final burst of illumination?
