Package: inkscape
Version: 0.44.1-1

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is really a bug in inkscape, but it seems so to me.

My example for reproduction is this:
Generate a postscript document with an Helvetica R in it, like e.g. the
following tex file does (latex $file.tex; dvips $file.dvi), convert it
to svg (pstoedit -f plot-svg $file.ps > $file.svg), and compare the look
alike of the R between any postscript viewer and gimp on the one side,
and inkscape.

The correct Helvetica R consists on the right lower side of an partly
straight down line, compared with an Arial R which consists of an
diagonal line.  Evince or Ghostview display the correct R from the
ps-file here, inkscape shows and exports it wrong. (The png files are
exported from gimp directly from the postscript format, and from via
inkscape - in the second case I also zoomed the R but that shouldn't
matter for our purpose.)


Cheers,
Andi

So, upstream declared this bug as fixed in 0.91.
Also, this bug kept the tag moreinfo for more than 4 years.
Let's close it.  If it's still an issue please reopen it.
