Hi,
I got an error when I try to open a eps file that I create using Inkscape, I'm on windows XP. Actually I know the file is OK, because I converted to PDF and it looks nice. However, I cannot open it using GSview. Is it related to some problem on how GSview read the files?

Hi,
I've been recently creating nice Inkscape images for web and print: the sources are single page Word documents with text and rough images. In these source documents, the text is often formatted differently in the same paragraph - some bold, some not, some one color, some another, some underlined for a potential link, some not -- all this for marketing emphasis.
When I convert this into Inkscape, I have to break apart each paragraph into separate little text snippets, where one formatting stops, and another begins. I love Inkscape, however this turns out to be really time consuming.
Is it possible for a leading feature designer to look at these issues / capabilities?
Thanks much for providing a great tool for us. I really enjoy Inkscape except for this text area / challenge. Any meantime strategy comments welcome and appreciated.
Thanks, Reto

I'm pretty sure you can just select some text in your text area, and apply different formatting to it, such as bold or italic, change size, etc.
I just tested this with 0.48, and I'm 99% sure it was around in 0.47.

Fantastic Matthew! I'm so glad you pointed this out! Didn't know one could modify styling of subsets of text areas.
Thank you! (and yes, you are correct, it does work in .47).
BTW, any reason I should stay with .47, or will .48 work with all my documents created with .47 just fine?

I too used to split my paragraphs into multiple text objects to apply different formatting, until someone older and wiser than I pointed out the inline styling changes to me. :- )

I haven't had any trouble with any of my older Inkscape documents working with .48, but I had been using nightly development snapshots of .47 until .48 came out.
