You will be prompted by your Web browser to save the file.Īfter the file has finished downloading to your computer, run it and follow the Inkscape installation instructions on the screen. Because this is a tutorial based on the Windows version, click the “Installer” option to the right of Windows. The Macintosh version of the program is there too. If you want to run Inkscape for Linux or Unix, you will have to download the source tarball and then compile it. You will see all the current versions of Inkscape listed in the main section of your screen. Once you are there, you can click “Download” on the left hand side of the screen. If you do not have Inkscape installed, please visit. This Inkscape tutorial assumes that you are using a Windows-based computer and have Inkscape already installed.

But to do so, you need to resort to the Terminal to create it (Mac OS X doesn't allow to create hidden files easily with the native GUI tools), and - if you add too many fonts - it can slow down the start-up time of Inkscape significantly.Inkscape is an open source vector graphics program that is available for free. If these paths/ libraries are too limited for your purposes, there exists the possibility to create a (hidden) user font configuration file which adds additional directories with fonts. (and some more, but those should not bother you nor should you change anything there: /usr/share/fonts, usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts and /opt/local/share/fonts)

'~/.fonts' (hidden folder, used by X11 applications, but not by Mac OS X itself).

'Home > Library > Fonts' (User, corresponds to '~/Library/Fonts').

'Network > Library > Fonts' (Network, corresponds to '/Network/Library/Fonts').

'Library > Fonts' (Local, corresponds to '/Library/Fonts').
