Inkscape 44.1 for Windows and OpenType font, Linux printing and PS export
Hi everyone...
First of, I love inkscape best drawing software I ever used. But I have a few problems. It seem in windows, inkscape cannot access OpenType font, only TrueType font. Anyway to make OpenType work ?
Also I was beable to print on my linux laptop using ubuntu with the default inkscape that came with it (using cups). But it had bugs and missed differents items, so I used the 44.1 package on the website but now I cannot seem to beable to print via CUPS... It just seem to try to pipe to lp. Anyway to fix this ?
And last, the PostScript export doesn't work very well. Im trying to do 2 thing, export to PS for printing, and second to create PDF document. When exporting to ps or pdf it always missing items in my design. The only way I was beable to do 'good' postscript right now is in windows and tell it to print to file using the Apple Color Postscript printer, but even then, I got 1 object that doesn't print correctly.
Any help on these issues would be great. Thanks

The 2 problem I have with Postscript Export are this :
1- Linear Gradient in Stroke Paint do not get exported ! 2- the exported Postscript file page layout do not match svg document. (Look like A4 but not sure).
Another bug for the OpenOffice Export. There is a default author name set to document. Maybe that should be removed and put 'Exported from Inkscape' instead.

It is the bug discussed at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1441767&gro... which is currently a priority 8 bug for the developers.
There you can download a hacked binary that makes Opentype work. The file is libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll.hacked, which you should copy to the inkscape directory (C:\Program Files\Inkscape) and rename to libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll (be sure to back up the original libpangowin32 before you do this). Type 1 fonts will continue to be unsupported. Alternatively you can get hold of Fontforge and make TrueType versions of your OpenType fonts.
