Food for thoughts

Few questions:


  • Does anyone know a better process to save svg file fro Inkscape to pdf while preserving effects like blur and transparency? SVG and PDF models.

  • Why Fedora version of Scribus cannot properly configure the margins and does not use the default system fonts? Bug #446149 has been around since Fedora 8.

The thing is that those features are not supported by the PDF specs, so for things like blur the export operation have to rasterize parts of the image.

So effects like blur has to be rasterized before being exported from svg to pdf. Basically, it means to save one layers to blue in Gimp then importing back to Inkscape as workaround.

gnome-shell useless with nouveau driver

Running rawhide 20090924 from desktop system , I test gnome-shell to explore its features (seems Activities name is inspired from Sugar interface .

No network on Fedora 9 x86_64 follow up

Following my post related to NetworkManager . I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
