<div dir="ltr">Hoi,<br>I am using Windows XP and this platform is quite capable of showing svg pictures. So rest assured when you have a reasonably modern computer, your computer will be able to show svg.. <br>Thanks,<br> GerardM<br>

Hello Adam,<br><br>Am I late in the game here?<br><br>Wait, are you telling me that vector-based programs will not run on a PC and you are writing all of your programs presuming that the entire world is MAC based. I hope not. I thought that the purpose of open-sourcing was just that, a program that CAN be run on any program with a reasonable memory, not tied to one platform or another. <br>

Yes, Inkscape on Mac requires the use of the X11 program to run. I know you have it, but I bet you have to update it just like I did when I put it on my Mac. If you go to the Inkscape website, they will link you to the X11 website so that you can download the latest version. Or you can just go to this link to download the latest. <a href="http://xquartz.macosforge.org/" target="_blank">http://xquartz.macosforge.org/</a><div>
<br></div><div>Then after you do that, opening Inkscape should be no problem. You may have to leave it open for awhile when opening it for the first time while it seems to be doing nothing because it is communicating with X11. After that it will open just fine (with X11 opening in the background).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Let me know if you have any problems.</div><div><br></div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On Jul 24, 2008, at 4:40 PM, Valerie Sutton wrote:</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>SignWriting List<br>
July 24, 2008<br><br>Thank you, Adam, for posting the SVG version of the sign for WORLD in ASL...I love the good looking symbols - you did a really good job ;-))<br><br>And you are right, that as soon as we have the SVG version of the ISWA it will be just terrific... It may actually take some time before that happens, but sooner or later
it will happen....;-)<br><br>Meanwhile...a funny story..I downloaded the program Inkscape to open your svg file, but oddly enough it refuses to open on my Mac, and it said it was a Mac version, so I must have done something wrong...and I was surprised that Photoshop doesn't open the file...it says it is a format it doesn't understand...so is it only Illustrator and html that opens SVG? The Adobe SVG reader is being phased out I understand from their web site...so it seems frustrating when you can't open an SVG file except in a web browser...how can I open it to manipulate symbol size etc?<br>
<br>You can see I have much to learn about SVG!<br><br>Val ;-)<br><br><span><world01.png></span><br><br><br><br><span><world.svg></span><br><br><br><br>____________________________________________<br><br>SW-L SignWriting List<br>
