Description Matthew Barnes 2007-03-21 09:55:50 UTC 
Evolution's Quick Reference (under Help -> Quick Reference) still has the old Ximian logo.  It should show Evolution's current logo instead.

I attempted to do this myself but the logo in the resulting PDF came out looking somewhat transparent, so perhaps someone with more image editing skills could give this a shot.

Here's what I did:

   - Load art/scalable/evolution.svg into Inkscape.

   - Scale the image to ~5 in. and save as help/quickref/evolution-logo.eps.

   - For each locale, run the commands shown in help/quickref/*/quickref.tex:

        $ latex quickref.tex

        $ dvips -t letter -f -Pcmz < quickref.dvi >| quickref.ps

        $ ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=letter quickref.ps

This is still valid.

Comment 11 Jakub Steiner 2009-01-04 01:28:29 UTC 
As the artwork includes things like alpha trasparency inside gradients, I don't think it's exportable into EPS, unless you render it into a bitmap. Depending on the output DPI, you want to `inkscape -e bitmap.png -d $DPI logo.svg` 

I believe if you `inkscape -E bitmap.eps -d $DPI logo.svg` it will still render into a bitmap and convert to EPS directly, as the exporter knows it can't deal with alpha gradients in any reasonable way.

Quick Reference (postscript)

Followed Jakub's suggestion, but it seems to be the ps2pdf conversion causing the transparency problem.  The intermediate quickref.ps file (attached here) doesn't exhibit the problem.  Is it something inherent in the PostScript format, or should I hunt for a better converter?
