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 How reproducible: Everytime
There seems to be a patch in the upstream tracker for this: http://sourceforge.net/p/pstoedit/bugs/19/
