Hi list,
I just built and installed inkscape-0.38.1 successfully on my SuSE Linux 8.1 box. After a few initial problems importing graphics created with sodipodi, at the moment the following issues remain:
1) The font size of menus and dialogs is very small.
Is there a way of changing it, e.g. to the default size that other GTK apps use? If not (e.g. because it is hardcoded), can someone point me to a location in the code where I can change it?
2) It seems inkscape expects all strings (including file names) to be UTF-8 encoded (although I do not use a UTF-8 locale, but de_DE@...120... Thus file names that contain german umlauts etc. cause trouble. Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAME helped here but problems with german umlauts in sodipodi graphics remain. (I removed them by editing the svg files manually before loading them into inkscape).
Is there a way for inkscape to use other than UTF encoding?
3) With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing which used a fixed width font and contained multiple blanks to form a simple table. But inkscape prints only one blank for any number of blanks in a row.
How can I enter text so that multiple blanks are displayed between two words?
Thanks in advance Mario
