I'm really glad to be able to have a solid answer to one of your questions, I mean .. I've read so many solid answers coming from you, beign able to answer one of your questions makes me feel good. The tool I use to do that is Inkscape, and here you'll find a video tutorial on how to do exactly what you are asking for (and a lot of video tutorials to do whatever you may want to do with Inkscape =) ): http://screencasters.heathenx.org/episode-014/ Hope I helped Regards Gonzalo Nemmi
