Does Inkscape run well on Mavericks 10.9.3?

Can anyone say how well Inkscape runs on Mavericks? Just fine, or quirky enough that it's better on Mountain Lion?

thanks for anything you can share about this!

Inkscape prefs don't save. OS X 10.8.5

Had this problem in Mavericks, now seeing in Mt. Lion: set my prefs for inkscape and after quitting, then relaunching inkscape, the prefs are not what I set them to.

Anyone know about this? Any fix to it? Am I wrong to think that changes to preferences are written to the hard disk for later use?

where to find what's needed for extensions OS X

Can someone help me with a link to whatever file(s) needed to enable the Extensions to work. I'm on OS X, Mt. Lion..I found one promising link but got a warning that the file had been deprecated, so thought I should hold out for something better..

thank you for any links/advice.

Re: type stylesheets for Inkscape?

Actually I have the same questions as Minky above, thought CSS was for viewing in websites or apps only.

Re: type stylesheets for Inkscape?

no, my idea would be so that we could introduce type styles to Inkscape, via CSS.

but I am not a programmer so I don't know whether my idea is relatively simple to implement, with the "hooks" already there, or more like trying to build a suspension bridge across the pacific ocean.

Is it possible to create text stylesheets in Inkscape? I only see selection of face and size and a few other attributes but nothing like a style sheet as in InDesign or even Illustrator. If not a stylesheet tool that resides within Inkscape, how about allowing Inkscape to link to a CSS style sheet, ...

More fonts available to Inkscape? OS X

when I need to use fonts in Inkscape, I see an ocean of fonts that I presume come with Inkscape, and I see only some of my own fonts. Is there a way to get Inkscape to "see" more of my fonts, and for me to trim out the ones that come with Inkscape?

thanks!

Re: Make gradient nodes "change places?"

thank you.

yes, I was using the gradient tool (keyboard shortcut g) and I can not achieve what I am asking about with it.

perhaps it is not possible in inkscape at this time?
