[Ipe-discuss] freetype problem when running pdftex

[Rainer Typke]

- freetype:

Okay, that helped. I don't know what I did wrong yesterday, I basically 
did the same thing again (but this time with freetype 2.1.5). I probably 
did not copy all rebuilt ipe libraries and executables into the right 
directories yesterday. Is there also an "install" target? I just 
followed the instructions and copied the stuff by hand.

Thanks for your help! It looks like a very useful program, addressing 
exactly the shortcomings of the otherwise very powerful LaTeX system. 
Too bad Ipe is not more widely known.

- presentation/recurring elements on multiple pages:

 You mention in the documentation that "style sheets can also contain 
... logos to be displayed on each page". The example in the 
documentation does not seem to do that. Do you have an example that 
demonstrates this feature? Can I make any combination of object types 
(text/polygons/bitmaps) reappear on subsequent pages and, if necessary, 
edit only once to update all pages?

Best regards,

Rainer
