And then just watch top: 4238 mader 20 0 30396 13m 3364 R 39.9 0.8 0:27.86 gs 4247 mader 20 0 30396 13m 3364 R 39.9 0.8 0:24.90 gs You will see that gs goes weird and there will never be an output. Since I have never been able to use the Symbol fonts in openSUSE with Inkscape, I'd be happy to have that means for scientific illustrations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Still: is there some factory packages which I could try? Is it only pstoedit or would I need something else? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Are you sure that this is fixed already? If so, what else is needed to make the Inkscape LaTeX-rendering function work? As mentioned above: most available regular fonts look the same in Inkscape, and the Symbol-like fonts do not differ from any regular font. It would really be nice to have another means of producing greek letters in that application... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have used pstoedit-3.45-232.1.i586.rpm from factory and with this the "TeX Text" plugin works! So the basic functionality of pstoedit is working again. I still have some issues with Inkscape (e.g. the native TeX-rendering still doesn't work), so I will file a separate report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The package is broken on all of the PS files we need to convert here. It is not restricted to Inkscape. 3.45 solves the issue. It seems to be a severe known bug in 3.44 since at least 07/2007. Cf. Bug #421991 and http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg15565.html Kind regards. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And other times, there's on hell of effort to backport some patch just in order to fix a severe bug. Are you sure you are not mixing this up with the SLE products? In this case: what is the point in knowingly providing a 100% broken package and refusing to deliver an update? I have that package from #11 running for some time with no problem, so I think it would be a very safe update and a good occasion for the exception of the rule. It fixes a problem and does not introduce some other. It's a win-win situation. It is bugs like this which drive power-users (= majority of promotors for this distribution!!) mad. I definitely don't think the stubborn insistence of non-version upgrades in the case of totally broken packages helps a lot to gain popularity among those users. It is even schizophrenic, considering the fact that openSUSE is a community distro with a large share of bleeding-edge packages and way too far from enterprise stability. So I am not convinced that such a non-move should be for the sake of the user. Bleeding-edge is fine, and I am also fine with bugs here and there, but I am not fine with the prospect of having to live with serious flaws like that. I am willing to help you find and squash bugs so that the SLE products are mature. But I will close this account immediately if in return there is no reward in the form of an updated package here and there for the community line. Sorry for the rant, but this really is ridiculous. And if not that, it's downright outrageous. People file bugreports, track down issues, and all they get in return is some manual handfix solution restricted to the 10 users surfing by here by chance? Are you serious? Not all bugs are fixed as easily as this one, I know, but since this one is, please deliver that update. Thank you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Doing such updates, even if it's "just" a version update _is_ work for quite some people. And we decided to rather spent the time on the next openSUSE version. I suggest you take part in the beta tests of openSUSE to verify that the functions you require are working _before_ the release. I understand your frustration, but it's my job to decide if the time we have is spent correctly. And rendering latex formulas in inkscape is just not a major use case, so we do not spent time on fixing it for released versions. Please accept my decision. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
