Fonts
You may need to install the following fonts for a proper rendering:
- Dosis
- Archivo Narrow
- Roboto
- PXL-2000-12-0
The fonts are in static.fsf.org/nosvn/enc-dev0/fonts/.
To edit an SVG and export it to PNG
Edit
- Open the svg in Inkscape (program messages are from the English version).
- Display/Zoom to a convenient size.
- Select the text with the A tool (vertical toolbox) and edit it; adjust the font if needed (T menu, in the horizontal menu bar).
- If the text area takes up too much space and you can't use a narrower font, you can adjust its size:
- Select the text with the arrow tool at the top of the vertical toolbox (double-click to degroup the image if it is not selected right away).
- Move the right horizontal scaling arrow (if there is no horizontal arrow on the right side of the text area, it means that you are in the rotation menu; to go back to the scaling menu, click a second time on the text area with the arrow selection tool).
Export to PNG
- Choose menu File/Export Bitmap
- Export Area: choose "drawing".
- Bitmap Size: fill with width of the target png. The height of the target will be automatically calculated. If needed, you can change the Export Area Height to fit the desired target size.
- Filename: the complete path to the target PNG (make sure that the directory is [...]/enc/static/img/[LANG]/).
Pitfalls
elements.svg (section6-next-steps.png)
There is a small white arrow below the "PRIV" key in the svg. You must first ungroup the elements (select the drawing, then menu Object/Ungroup) before selecting and deleting this white arrow and then export.
infographic.svg (infographic-button.png)
It's a sub picture of gnupg-infographic.svg. To reveal it, open gnupg-infographic.svg with inkscape, go to menu Layer/Layers…. On the Layers panel, there is a layer named "botao para site". Make it visible.
Help
Feel free to edit the SVGs from the enc/svg/fr/ directory. This may prove useful for infographic.svg (the whole image is in SVG format, extracted from gnupg-infographic.png; the export size doesn't need to be adjusted), and donate.svg or join.svg (the circle can move, which makes it easier to place the text around it; the export size doesn't need to be adjusted).
Next step
Once you have exported the pngs in the right size, you are ready to add them to the static directory. Go back to Graphics Instructions section of the Translation Guide.
