The command-line utility dvisvgm is a tool for TEX/LATEX users. It converts DVI, EPS, and PDF files to the XML-based vector graphics format SVG. In contrast to bitmap graphics, vector graphics are arbitrarily scalable without loss of quality. All modern web browsers support a large amount of the current SVG standard 1.1. Furthermore, SVG files can also be displayed with the Java-based Squiggle SVG browser which is part of the Apache Batik project, and the free vector graphics editor Inkscape.
Features
- Supports classic DVI files (format version 2), pTEX DVI files in vertical mode (version 3), and XDV files as generated by XeTeX (versions 5, 6, and 7)
- Options --eps and --pdf allow to convert EPS and PDF files to SVG
- Complete font support including virtual fonts, evaluation of font encodings, CMap files, sub-font definitions and font maps
- Glyph outlines of all required fonts are embedded into the generated SVG files
- The font data can be embedded in SVG, TrueType, WOFF, or WOFF2 format
- Glyph outlines of fonts that are not available in a vector format are generated on-the-fly by vectorizing METAFONT’s bitmap output
- dvisvgm allows to replace font elements by paths so that applications without SVG font support are enabled to render dvisvgm’s output properly
