Problem when saving: open polyline is closed

Postby gparcia » Mon Dec 26, 2011 6:57 pm

Hi,
I'm running the last version of inkscape, and I have the following svg file:
Acquisizione a schermo intero 26122011 9.39.20.bmp.jpg
Acquisizione a schermo intero 26122011 9.39.20.bmp.jpg (17.36 KiB) Viewed 656 times


When I try to save it in eps or pdf, this is the result:
AVPageView 26122011 9.40.49.bmp.jpg
AVPageView 26122011 9.40.49.bmp.jpg (17.2 KiB) Viewed 656 times


The "square brackets" become a rectangle. Interestingly, if I slightly rotate them in any direction, the problem does NOT come out, and they are correctly printed as brackets...

Any idea of what's wrong with it???

Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with the file (as far as can be told based on a screenshot only, without access to the SVG file). This is most likely a known upstream issue in the current stable version of the cairo library used by Inkscape to export to PDF/PS/EPS files:

Bug #759154 “Open paths with aligned endpoints are closed in cairo-based exports (PDF/PS/EPS)”
