	SVG Fonts by GailC :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I'm helping someone work on an implementation for SVG Fonts for Inkscape and have a question I'm hoping you might be able to help with. Suppose I want to use PangoLayout to lay out a string of text as per normal, but that I don't have the font actually on my system. Instead, I have an SVG Font, which essentially amounts to having SVG paths for the glyphs required. Is there a way to "fake" the needed Pango font to get the correct layout from a string of text, using the information available from the glyphs provided? Or is there no way around using some font already on the system? Thank you kindly, Gail _______________________________________________ gtk-i18n-list mailing list gtk-i18n-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-i18n-list

Then to wait until this bug is fixed: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347237 I already explained this on inkscape devel list last week. > Thank you kindly, > Gail -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ gtk-i18n-list mailing list gtk-i18n-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-i18n-list

Yes, you're right - sorry about that. I'll have another look at the archives.
