[solved] Italics are not working

Postby routhwick » Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:53 pm

Hello. I'm new to Inkscape, having just downloaded the program a few days ago just to re-do this.

It's coming close to completion, but I'm encountering a small problem: as I'm trying to make the default Sans text italicised, it's not doing so. Can you tell me if it's just another bug, or if I've done anything wrong?

Thanks,

DCJC

Do you have "Sans" font on your PC? I ask this because despite it listing Sans on mine by default, I don't actaully have a font called "Sans" installed. The other thing is that Inkscape can only bold and italic fonts that inlcude a bold and italic face. So you can't use emphasis on all fonts.

I don't see it on my system either. And even worse, the program's not allowing me to change the font even after I've typed in something. What to do now? :|

I just found a solution! :D Now they should be working just fine.

As for the re-draw, I'll just have to start from scratch...again. :|

Why do you need to start from scratch just to change the fonts?

It's because the area around the island isn't filling in the right way.
