Re: FitCanvasToDrawing verb on command line brining up GUI

Got the same issue on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server running Inkscape 0.48 that is doing mass conversion from AI to SVG.
What is the best way to request the "FitCanvasToDrawing" feature be added as a command line only feature,
or is that problematic for some reason?

Re: [Solved] 0.91 Win-64 / 32-bit won't start on Windows 7?

I have 0.91 for Win-64 and I have Windows 10 (1511); The app takes 3-4 minutes to launch. It worked fine with Windows 7.

It can't be true that the only solution is removing fonts! I am using Chinese fonts and I NEED them! In Windows 7, I had the same fonts installed, and it worked fine.

Snap to Page Border

There's an outline of my page border but I can't snap my background rectangle cover to this border? I want to make a frame as well to snap to this page border. How do I do it?

Re: Can Inkscape Duplicate this Illustrator Image ?

I've almost got it. Now I get those feint white stripes you were mentioning. How do I get rid of those white lines? I read your explanation above but didn't really understand the solution.

Re: Can Inkscape Duplicate this Illustrator Image ?

Lazur, When I try to rebuild what you did with the source file it comes out almost identical.

The one difference is the white outer diameter of the circle overlaps onto the main image. How do you eliminate this final white ring?

I don't know what you mean with "DFT feature". Are you using an extension? which one? Yes. DFT is Draw From Triangle as in topic title. I still don't understand the first part. Where does He want the circles be drawn? Circles must be drawn over the original triangle, at certain position (...

Re: "modify path - perspective" turns text 90 degrees

Perspective extension maps bottom left of your selection to the first point you draw, and continues clockwise for the next three. Illustrator 'assumes' that you want it drawn the 'usual' way. Seems to me for the cost of learning the right order to draw the path you are getting much more versatility...

Re: "modify path - perspective" turns text 90 degrees

This is shockingly complicated compared to Illustrator. If I'm not satisfied, I need to go back about four steps, whereas in Illustrator, one undo is enough.
