Description Jonathan Underwood 2015-07-27 14:10:54 UTC
Description of problem:
inkscape has a plugin to allow latex input to be rendered in svg files. This makes use of pstoedit to turn a ps file (produced from a latex fragment) into an svg. See file /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/eqtexsvg.py. The pstoedit command ran by this script looks like:

# pstoedit -f plot-svg -dt -ssp eq.ps eq.svg

which at the moment results in:

pstoedit: version 3.70 / DLL interface 108 (built: Jan  5 2015 - release build - g++ 4.9.2 20141217 (Red Hat 4.9.2-3) - 64-bit) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2014 Wolfgang Glunz
Unsupported output format plot-svg
Available formats :
	psf:			.fps:	Flattened PostScript (no curves) 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	ps:			.spsc:	Simplified PostScript with curves 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	debug:			.dbg:	for test purposes 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	dump:			.dbg:	for test purposes (same as debug) 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	gs:			.gs:	any device that Ghostscript provides - use gs:format, e.g. gs:pdfwrite 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	ps2ai:			.ai:	Adobe Illustrator via ps2ai.ps of Ghostscript 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------

And so it seems that svg and plot-svg support has been lost somehow.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pstoedit-3.70-1.fc22.x86_64
