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

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

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.

vector aesthetics
by Jon Phillips 03 May '04

03 May '04

Hello all, I've been working on a writing for a little while about what I'm calling "vector aesthetics," which is a feature-based look at vector graphics and design styles that are influenced by vector graphics. I'm trying to get some eyes on the writing and some edits/fixes from these lovely knowledgeable communities. http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VectorAesthetics I'm trying to develop a large picture view of SVG, Flash, why SVG is important and how the art/aesthetics of SVG relates and is defined. The final text will be included in a book I'm trying to get published (in the future). Read more here: http://cvsbook.ucsd.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl if interested. There are various sections in the writing which are important for our communities to understand/look-at and is one of the reasons why I have been working on these texts, as I think we need to zoom out and look at the big picture of what we are working on, SVG, INKSCAPE, Clipart, and OSS, and see where it is at in the aesthetic and technical landscapes.
