removal of private-fonts and libarikkei
by MenTaLguY 06 May '04

06 May '04

Just a heads-up that I've removed the "private-fonts" private font installation facility. Anyone who had needed it in the past it will probably find their system's native font management facilities easier and more flexible at this point. Fontconfig has brought unix font management a long, long way. Also of note, libarikkei has been removed from the tree as it is no longer used. -mental

Snapping to Grid
by Landon Blake 05 May '04

05 May '04

Inkscape Users, I'm having some trouble using the "snap to grid" feature. I checked "snap to grid" in the document options dialog, and set my grid spacing to 0.25 inch. My snap distance was set to 0.20. I played with some different snap distances, but I can't seem to get the nodes of any paths or shapes to snap to the grid. Any suggestions? Also, is there any way to specify the coordinates of a node? Thanks, Landon Blake

I don't know offhand if OS X's X11 server supports XInput, but it should work at least as well as a mouse device (i.e. no pressure sensitivity), which is as much as we support tablets in general at the moment. I have OS X and a tablet handy, but I need to reinstall fink and build Inkscape before I can try it. Since I have dialup, this will take a while. -mental

~/.inkscape/private-fonts
by MenTaLguY 05 May '04

Now that we're using Gtk2, "normal" font installation is easy even on Unix (put your fonts in ~/.fonts). Would anyone object if we removed support for the "private-fonts" file? I don't think we have a need to maintain our own font installation/management mechanism anymore. -mental

I'm not sure about .psf, but both TrueType (.ttf) and Type 1 (.pfb/.pfa) fonts work for me. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the MSN Premium and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=ht…

First post, new tux, wiki gallery.
by twb 03 May '04

03 May '04

A while back (around version 0.31), I defected from Sodipodi to Inkscape[0]. I am just now getting around to moving my cheap-ass gallery off Lauris' site and joining this list. My images are here: http://www.sodipodi.com/index.php3?section=gallery/twb and about a third of these: http://www.sodipodi.com/index.php3?section=gallery/logos I notice that the horrible SVG of tux is still floating around in CVS instead of my nice tri-color one: http://www.sodipodi.com/gallery/twb/logo_tux.svg probably because I lost the original and only re-posted it a short time ago. What is the recommended way of posting (svg) images to a gallery on the wiki? Especially since I don't have any unreal estate[1]. HAND. -trent [0] First and foremost reason being vastly superior keyboard support. [1] Blame yoyo.monash.edu.au for not reading my form yet... 3months and counting.
