Bug#446688: inkscape: No letter spacing, incorrect glyphs in some fonts

2011-02-09 Thread Alex Valavanis
tags 446688 unreproducible moreinfo
thanks

Dear all,

I'm taking a look at old bug reports against the Inkscape package in
Debian.  Please could you let me know if you still experience the
problems with incorrect rendering of default text in SVG documents
exported from xfig and chemtool?  The original report can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446688

I am unable to reproduce the bug using inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu1
(essentially identical to 0.48.0-1 in Debian).  I have attached sample
chemtool (Helvetica) and xfig (Times) files, and the exported SVGs.
Both SVGs render correctly for me in Inkscape.

If you still experience the problem, please could you attach a sample file?

Thanks,


Alex

Thanks for the update, Vincent.  Which upstream version of Inkscape
were you using?  0.48.0?

The image renders fine for me in inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu1.

 vlefevre.svg is the source file.

 vlefevre.pdf is the correct PDF file (exported from SVG with upstream
 inkscape under Mac OS X).

 vlefevre2.pdf is what I obtain under Debian.

Same problem with inkscape 0.45.1-1 and Helvetica font-family (at least).
The file was created by inkscape 0.45.1 itself under Mac OS X.

 Maybe inkscape should interpret Helvetica as Sans and Times as
 Serif?

AFAIK, Sans and Serif are just aliases. Using replacement fonts (this
is what Firefox seems to do) is not a correct solution since the font
metrics may be different, and often are in practice.
