Re: Lowercase letter L is sometimes too thick

thanks polygon I did install Scribus to convert the Inkscape into CYMK but Scribus said my file had some unsupported features and then made a hash of importing the SVG. http://imgh.us/Scribus_import_of_SVG.jpg should be http://imgh.us/FoBMCP_A4_tri-fold_leaflet_outside_panels_v2b_Final.png Next time...

Re: Lowercase letter L is sometimes too thick

Many thanks tylerdurden for your suggestion. Something to try next time but I find this hand-off to the printers stressful. In 2014 on the first print run I made a mistake with the embedded fonts and it cost me over £100 (US$140) out of my own pocket - don't tell my wife!! As this is a community gro...

Re: Lowercase letter L is sometimes too thick

Great detective work tylerdurden :) So, what is the solution for myself as a lay person? P.S. In my last post Tue Mar 15, 2016 11:26 am I used the term kerning when referring to trying to reduce the space between letters and between words to get more words on the line to match the original In Design...

I think I will look at another font and see if I can avoid kernelling but isn't it sometimes needed? Let ...

Re: Lowercase letter L is sometimes too thick

Many thanks for a quick reply. As the original svg file is 88MB I've created a version without the images at just 77K. It is here: http://www.dropbox.com/s/4gpr72nyn81zuk3/FoBMCP%20A4%20tri-fold%20leaflet%20outside%20panels%20v2b%20Final%20w-o%20images.svg?dl=1 As stated above, the problem in the pr...

Lowercase letter L is sometimes too thick

Hi, first post, so may I start by saying I have found Inkscape to be a powerful and quick to learn the basics program. So many thanks to all you developers. I've produced a leaflet for a community group and I just received it back from the printers. One issue was the lower-case letter Ls were too th...
