Inkscape on the path to CMYK support
Felipe Sanches was working on a Google Summer of Code Inkscape project to add SVG font support (and turn Inkscape into a font editor of sorts). Sadly Pango lacks “user fonts” to allow this, but that is slowly coming… Anyway, Felipe just messaged me to say a tiny group of developers received sponsorship from the Brasilian government to travel to Brasilia and meet for a week to discuss Inkscape and GIMP development around ICC profiles and CMYK support. A (portugese) wiki has the UI mockup.
Colour management and CMYK support in free software is a key feature set for professional graphic design, so this is really exciting!
