Postby Dennis » Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:18 pm

Hello you inkscape folks..

im pretty new to inkscape, but i like it.

Right now im tryin to make a webdesign but i have an isue when i export (to png)
When i export it somehow becomes blurry, you see it especially with the 1px lines and pixelfonts...

Increase the dpi on the export dialogue. You'll always have a certain amount of that with pngs but increasing the dpi should help.

The issue can usually be resolved with snapping to grid in a certain way.

Here is why it happens http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... liasing.3F

I guess... you're exporting the drawing/selection instead of the page and the drawing/selection starts at a *.5 Y coordinate.

For quick results: Try adding 0.5 to Y0 and Y1 in the export dialog.
