@Open-Elearning - Could you please confirm you're running Inkscape 0.48.5? As far as I can tell, the latest official Inkscape packages for your Ubuntu version is inkscape 0.48.3.1-1ubuntu1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662150 Title: Indian Rupee: <ctrl-shift-u> 2 0 b 9 <enter> reports "unprintable" Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Triaged Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: inkscape The standard method for entering Unicode symbols (such as the Indian Rupee Sign) into Gtk+-based applications is the sequence: <ctrl-shift-u> 2 0 b 9 <enter> doing this in Inkscape results in a report that the character is not printable and no character being inserted. However copying-and- pasting "₹" directly allows it to be inserted. Ideally Inkscape would not try to be too-clever-for-its-own-good by artificially restricting the characters that can be entered with overriding the default Gtk+ methods.
