Hi! Thank you for the answer. We actually discuss with the topic at length with Alexandro and maybe others 3 years ago. There was a small bug in the display of the SVG between Inkscape and the rendering engine making the text slightly off. That's about as much as I remember. I can't even remember how to edit the file now if it's not using a text editor. So back to what we want is actually replacing the current PNG files for our countdown with SVG file(s). We believe this would help us better manage translations and re-editing the file year after year. So it should be able to display the SFD countdown image (we have the SVG source so that should be ok) and deduct 1 day everyday as we get closer to SFD. Also the current availability of the files make it possible for people to chose the SFD date based on their timezone. So it is pretty simple to just copy & paste the code and insert it in a blog or website. The date changing every year requires us to remake the graphics and therefore know a bit of the local language. If we had the text in text files I believe this could be simpler to manage. For example today we have 15 translations which we cannot publish because we are unable to edit the file in each particular language. Well I hope I was clear enough. If you have some hints we'll really appreciate. Thank you. Fred On 08/28/2016 04:09 AM, Maren Hachmann wrote:
Hi Fred,
the Inkscape website is back online again.
What exactly would you need help with? (giving an Inkscape workshop on SFD ;-) )
I never heard about any display bug (well, those fonts are not available on my system, so the images look broken, because the texts don't fit, but beyond that...?)
What needs to be done?
Regards, Maren

Looking at the internet didn't really help me so far and the Inkscape site is giving me a 502 https://inkscape.org/en/learn/animation/ .
Does anybody feel familiar enough to get us started again?
Thanks a lot.
Fred
