[Bug 168164] Re: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points

2012-08-20 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
I love having pt as units because my work is mostly for print, and it was a 
real pain to calculate the type size from pixels for every text object, every 
time.
However I found that when I add a viewBox to documents stored with current 
trunk with pt as units, the size of SVG text is wrong when viewed in a browser 
(I tried with Iceweasel, Chromium, Gnome Web and Midori), just as ~suv pointed 
out.
Eye of Gnome, the image viewer, is also affected by this combination of viewBox 
and pt units for type.
I've started to use viewBox because inkscape SVGs are always imported with the 
wrong size in other programs like Scribus (and Corel, and Illustrator), which 
assume a resolution of 72 dpi instead of 90.

Setting a viewBox for having a real world units reference seems as important as 
having type in real world units to me, so this solution is incompatible.
I wonder why the units have to be hardcoded in the document. Why not just 
calculating the values on the fly in the UI and keep working with pixels, but 
with a properly viewBox set in the document?
Other programs seem to react correctly and assign the right size when the 
viewBox element is set and units in SVGs are pixels.

[Bug 754609] Re: Rendering artifacts

2011-07-28 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
I'm having the same problem with classic desktop without effects, so I
assume it's not related to compiz, but nVidia drivers.

I experience the same rendering artifacts in two different machines
using Ubuntu Natty (64-bit) with nVidia binary drivers from jockey
(current). One machine has a GeForce 9600GT and the other an 8600GT.

[Bug 168164] Re: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points

2010-11-01 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
As was stated above by Tom Davidson, there's a couple of ways to convert 
between inkscape pixels and points. And both are tedious :-p
You can manually change the size of every type object using the XML editor, or 
use a factor of 1.25 to convert the desired point size into pixels.

Inkscape uses a resolution of 90dpi for the real-size representation. So, if 
you create a 90x90px square it will be 1x1 inches in real units.
A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch, which is equal to a resolution of 72 
dpi.
90/72=1.25. So 1.25 is the factor you can use to translate between inkscape 
pixels and real-world typographic points.

I guess it would be pretty trivial (and probably a horrible hack) to add a unit 
selector in the text dialog to choose between points and pixels using just that 
factor. Internally it would simply multiply or divide the desired size by 1.25.
It doesn't sound like an elegant solution to solve the problem, even for my 
non-programmer brain. But at least it would be a temporary fix for an old bug 
that people who work in print production have been asking for years.
IMHO, after four years since the original report and millions of 
multiplications and divisions by 1.25, even the cheapest solution looks good :-)

[Bug 326340] Re: Inkscape leaves artifacts on the screen

2009-08-17 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
When I suggested to keep related reports in one single bug report I
meant about inkscape having problems with small screens. There were a
couple of bugs related to the screen size and was pointless (in my
oppinion) to have them separated, since the origin was the same:
inkscape UI didn't fit in small screens.

This is an inkscape bug report, and I think that other reports should be
marked invalid. It even looks like a launchpad bug that someone can
create an Evolution bug on top of this report that belongs to inkscape.

[Bug 298786] Re: pdf export crash in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

2009-04-20 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
I guess we should close it too. Inkscape crashes in a very particular situation 
and if this report had not much followups, maybe it's not that frequent.
Since Ubuntu guys don't think it's worth to fix cairo for Hardy and the bug is 
caused by Cairo, maybe the offending feature should be disabled (to prevent the 
crash) when the cairo version is older than the needed. Or at least add a 
warning in the release notes.

[Bug 328065] Re: More intuitive Bezier Tool

2009-02-11 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
Hi.
I'd mark this request as invalid. Most of the points you mention have a 
workaround

- You can pan the image pressing the middle button (weel) of the mouse and 
dragging. That's extremely convenient and fast (since you can draw and pan with 
a hand, without needing any keyboard shortcut). GIMP and other free design 
packages use the same combination.
If you still prefer the space+click combination, it can be activated in the 
preferences.

- You can convert a node to corner using CTRL+L, you can undo the last bezier 
segment using backspace.
It's not as convenient as being able to edit the whole path on the fly (GIMP 
has that) but it's easy to get used to it.

- The development version has a no-color swatch among the swatches in
the bottom palette, so you can click (or shift-click) on it to remove
fill or stroke repectively. If you can't see the swatch palette in the
lower part of the screen, use the viewshow/hide menu to activate
it.

I'm a former user of Adobe Illustrator too. I know that is a little bit 
difficult to get used to the differences in Inkscape, but after a couple of 
days of using it it's not a big deal.
If you still find it too hard, you can use an alternative keyboard shortcuts 
map (there is one that clones the Illustrator's shortcuts). That may help too.

Do you still feel that this needs to be fixed or can I mark it as
invalid?

[Bug 184440] Re: [nvidia] Blue hue in all videos

2009-01-16 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
It's an nVidia problem. It only happens with the nVidia drivers.
It's something about the default value that nvidia X server settings assign to 
the hue. Changing the hue value in individual applications is in my opinion the 
wrong approach.
I think it's better to change the hue value in the nvidia panel or change the 
video complement in gstreamer-properties to something that doesn't use xv.

[Bug 43730] Re: inkscape 'export bitmap' dialog should indicate success and close after export

2008-10-26 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
I guess that some minor changes would improve the usability of that window:
- Progress bar should appear in the same window, no popups.
- The progress bar area should change to export succeded when the export 
finished, until the user clicks on another object in the canvas that wasn't 
exported yet.
A status bar (as GIMP's one) in the bottom would be great: When it's ready to 
export, a little instruction like select the image to convert and click 
export; that status bar changes to a progress bar while the image is being 
exported; the status bar shows success message when the process is finished, 
until the user selects another object.

That window shouldn't autoclose, as it already has been explained. It's
great for multiple exports.

[Bug 269656] Re: AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

2008-09-14 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
I think that Ubuntu already respects their trademark, but If what they want is 
more a notice than technically an EULA (afaik you can still use the browser 
even if you don't accept it), why not adding those terms in the page displayed 
as default?
Mozilla trademark and legal people could help to design that first run 
webpage and add the neccesary license terms according their needs.
But I strongly agree that an EULA popup window would be the worst choice. It 
would harm the free software user experience, taking us users to the 
inconvenient situation of accepting licenses in order to use FREE software on a 
free operating system (something that sounds pretty contradictory).
It's also important to state that this decision also harms Mozilla's public 
image. They are one of the most influential software names among the top open 
source creators and the posible scenario of being excluded of the leading linux 
distro won't be helping them too much.
