My understanding was that pstoedit had a *shareware* SVG converter and no free/open converter. This might be old information, but I am not aware of any change. Last year I had to convert something from PS into SVG and ended up doing a very roundabout path through Fontforge. It was a lame hack and required hand edits to get the color back, but it worked.
Thanks, Schlaegel. I suppose that no shareware SVG converter is needed. Please, have a look at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196510 Meanwhile, I have found out an easy way of doing the conversion: «There is a trick that I have used successfully: * produce whatever you want with LaTeX and then output it as ps, eps or pdf; * use the following sequence of commands: pstoedit -page 1 -dt -psarg "-r9600x9600" -f sk integral.eps integral.sk skconvert integral.sk integral.svg These steps overcome the well-known problem of pstoedit that does not convert to svg directly on some installations. Let me finally remark that I am not sure whether the trick works on MS Windows; it is only tested on Linux.» Paul
