Bug Description
I have to import PDF files on a daily basis from PDF
drivers such as Adobe PDF printer driver or PrimoPDF and when importing
one thing I have recently learned as I am starting to work with
inkscape is that the Font names seem to not get imported properly
and perhaps this is a known bug. If the font used to print to the
Driver is for example Times New Roman, when it is imported to SVG in
inkscape it is converted to the name TimesNewRoman and the missing
spaces are the main problem in the font name. If I use a text
editor and do a search and replace on TimesNewRoman and replace it
with Times New Roman then the font is used properly. I would
hope this can be easily corrected.
I have another question and I don't know if there is
somewhere you can already do this. It would be nice if the X= value could
be limited to just a single X coordinate rather than a list in my type
of work so that the text string is a single string in positioning.
Example: x="-3.296843 1.747382 2.3432245" could
just be x="-3.296843".
Is that a possibility?
Sincerely,
Kim Hovorka
I can confirm the font issue, having tested a variety of *.pdfs.
For the second question please either file a separate bug or ask on answers. launchpad. net/inkscape.
