Re: [Gimp-user] ai files in gimp

2015-12-04 Thread Alex Vergara Gil 
Dear Liam
Thats exactly my problem, fonts are not converted properly, even when
the same font is installed in my system, it just puts the rendered
text without transparency overlapping the enclosure, also enclosures
are rendered wrongly (smaller than should be). It seems a conversion
problem, but I know going from vector to bitmap is not
straightforward. Thats the main reason why i wanted GIMP to handle
vector layers, with a final preview and some control from users side
about the final conversion.
Regards
Alex

I've used inkscape on the commandline (in Linux) to convert ai files to
png in the past, and it's worked fairly well as long as I have the
right fonts installed.

How were you converting the files to PNG? What problems did you have?
Can you share a sample file?

(ignore if you've already solved it all!)

[Gimp-user] ai files in gimp

2015-12-01 Thread Alex Vergara Gil 
Hello!

Is there a way of importing ai files into gimp? I know i canuse them
in inkscape but i need to insert some figures in my project, i need
them to be very resolutive but converting them to png is not what i
expect, results are a disaster. Any hints?

Regards
Alex

It's not clear what you need to do. Do you need to insert figures into
your AI file, or do you need to take some figures from the AI and use
them in your GIMP project?

Gimp should be able to import ai files since they are based on PDF
(from illustrator 10). If it doesn't, try to rename your file.ai to
file.pdf and try again.

Note, however, that importing them into GIMP will result in the
rasterization of the vector shapes (turning them into bitmap images).
If you want to keep them as vectors, GIMP is not the program you want.
Also, if you want to keep the shapes separated from the background,
rasterization could be a problem too.


hth,
