is there any way to put math symbols (symbol font) on a picture?
by Duncan Haldane 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Hi I'm experimenting with inkscape for drawing figures for a scientific paper (physics, where lots of greek letters and math symbols are used to label things) The final desired form is pdf: I'm exporting from inkscape svg to eps, then converting to pdf with the Mac OS X "preview" application. Is there any hack or workaround to get inkscape to use a characters from a math symbol font? (It seems to recognize things line "wingdings", not just roman characters) Thanks for any suggestions.

Inkscape 0.51
by Bryce Harrington 27 Dec '04

Hi guys, Just fyi, we're thinking of targeting a 0.41 release for the late Jan, early Feb. We're thinking of focusing on making it a bugfix release plus a few new features. We've got several changes in the works that will introduce some instability for a while, so we figure it would be best to get another release out before we get too far into those big changes. Bryce

numerical skew
by Trent Buck 26 Dec '04

26 Dec '04

The transform dialog offers moving, scaling and rotating. How does one apply a skew of X% (e.g. 25%)? I am using a CVS build from yesterday. -- -trent <foo> Oh fuck, the power just went off. <foo> uh... <foo> Boy does this seem wrong.

Feature request: Themable icons
by Andrew Conkling 24 Dec '04

24 Dec '04

It would be nice if the icons in the menus and such were themable; I've been making changes to the global icons.svg, but I'd like to put it in ~/.inkscape/ to affect a user-only change. Any chance on doing something like this as-is, or eventually making it possible? Thanks, Andrew

Hi Bob, Any chance of an updated win32 LATEST-EXE.ZIP before christmas? There do not appear to have been any available since the 15th, and I'm suffering withdrawal pangs. Also can I take this opportunity to wish all developers, testers and users the very best of Seasons Greetings and may 2005 bring you all back refreshed and rar'in to go! vellum

Disabling alt+click alt+drag in linux (Selection Under)
by Frankie Y. Liu 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

Hello, I wanted to get Selection Under working, but alt+click seems to be grabbed by my window manager to drag the window. I am running fluxbox under SuSE9.1 linux. I tried to google disabling alt+click and alt+drag under linux, but I haven't found any relevant page that tells me how to do so. Thanks, -frankie
