14px font bigger than I expected
by Javier García 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi, to design a website using Inkscape, I have added a 960px grid. But, the first thing I have noticed is that the 14px font seems *to big respect to the 960px grid*. I expected a smaller font. So.. why does it happen? Check this image: http://i.stack.imgur.com/D1VjA.png Im using 0.91r on Ubuntu. Regards Javier

Newbie - walk cycle
by Steve Lett 29 May '15

29 May '15

I'm attempting for the first time to animate a walk cycle in Inkscape and I need some general advice on how to go about it. Is Inkscape the best free program to use for 2d animation, or should I use gimp? And after that is decided, how should I approach this task? And more specifically, how do I keep the leg a uniform thickness when changing its position?

If you'd like to help inkscape in a small way, we require a piece of news to be written/edited for the recent hackfest. It's an exciting event where inkscape developers got together to talk about the future of inkscape.

Use questions you yourself would be interested in hearing about and construct a 200-400 word article. Multi language versions acceptable. Please respond in public on the list if you're interested.

"Assertion Failed" error msg (serious?)
by Brynn 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi Friends, I had an error message I haven't seen before, while working with Inkscape, and it seemed to be fairly serious. It did not technically crash, but it effectively crashed not just Inkscape, but I had to restart my computer! I wonder if I should make a bug report for it? The reason I wonder, instead of just making a new report, is that I don't have a file to offer. I did manage to grab a screenshot though, which is attached. So you can at least see the error message. Otherwise all I have is my verbal explanation. Briefly, after the error msg, anything and everything on my screen was sort of frozen in place. For example, when I moved the error msg over, to be able to save and close windows, it sort of just smeared what looked like 15 or 20 copies of the error message across the screen (just like if you spread out a deck of cards across a table). If I maximized a window from the taskbar, it became frozen there. Even after I closed it, it was still there. And somehow, the font menu remained on top of everything (I was using the Text tool at the time of the error message). I managed to close everything out from the taskbar, and restart, and now I'm back to normal. There are a lot of details I've left out, because I know a lot of people don't like to read long messages on the mailing list. But I'll be glad to write out all the details, if anyone is interested and can use the info. Or let me know if you want me to write a bug report. Window 7, sp1, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (EXE installer) Thanks, brynn

Hi everybody, we need your help to collect a list of active Inkscape user IRC channels for the website. So far, we have: irc://irc.freenode.org/#inkscape irc://irc.freenode.org#inkscape.de irc://irc.freenode.org#inkscape-fr Are there any other active channels, maybe in other languages (esp. Spanish, Portuguese, and maybe Russian, Chinese, Japanese - or any other language ;))? Thank you! Regards, Maren

Batch export is saving the files where?
by Perry Kappetein 12 May '15

12 May '15

I am confused with the batch export under the Export I have 40 images, and select them all and do batch export. Its exporting the 40 images, but where? I've done it a few times, and sometimes I have 20 icons on my desktop, all named g....png ( g with a 4 digit number) And other times, there are no icons.. So where is it saving it? Ive read the help, but that talks about changing the settings, which you can't, since it's greyed out Thank you

Thank you Gian, that looks like the right font and have nowinstalled it on my computer. I have now created a new file with just the yearand need to figure out a way to create a white background and just stick it on topof the old year. Or maybe just a white square to cover up the year. I amgetting too old to relearn how to use inkscape...... lol. Thanks to you too Maren, I followed your instructions and gotto the point where it says remove the bitmat image but could see only one layer so guess somethingwent wrong. I really only want to removethe year and keep the rest as it is. I did create it originally in inkscape a few years ago,drawing and all......... if only I could remember how I did it, I would be veryhappy. I really appreciate you all trying to help, Joanne
