Greetings! I'm extensively using Inkscape - Windows version 0.44 by arranging scanned sections map back together. I find the program much better than MS Visio Professional 2003 that I was using before. It a faster screen rendering than Visio using the same hardware. Thank you for making Inkscape! I hope that with this comment I could help make Inkscape much better. I notice the following quirks that I hope anybody can answer:
1. Whenever I resize the bitmap figure (the scanned section of a map I am trying to recreate), while pressing the Ctrl<key> and moving the corner section of the figure to resize it properly, it keeps going in all directions making an imperfect resizing. Any thoughts on why this is happening and the fix for this? By the way, the figures are all in jpg format and normally about 1 MB or less. There are times that the inkscape svg file I am assembling can have about 21 figures, meaning a total of 21 MB.
2. When using the text tool, I would like to add special character such as "ñ" using the Alt <key> -164, it won't show the said character. Why could this be and how can I go about it?
That's all for now. Again, thanks for making Inkscape! 8-)
