+dvisvgm -- A DVI to SVG converter
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+ dvisvgm is a utility for TeX/LaTeX users. It converts
+ DVI files to the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG.
+
+
+DEPENDENCIES
+
+ dvisvgm relies on the following free libraries:
+ * FreeType 2 (http://www.freetype.org)
+ This library is used to extract glyph outlines
+ from PFB files.
+
+ * Ghostscript (http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost)
+ The PostScript special handler requires the Ghostscript
+ library libgs.so (Linux) or gsdll32.dll (Windows) to be
+ installed. If the configure script finds the corresponing
+ Ghostscript development files on the system, it directly
+ links against libgs.so. Otherwise, the library is looked up
+ at runtime and PostScript support is enabled only if libgs.so
+ could be found.
+ Due to incompatible changes of the Ghostscript API, dvisvgm
+ requires Ghostscript 8.31 or later.
+
+ * kpathsea
+ This library is part of the Web2C package and is
+ usually installed in conjunction with a TeX distribution.
+ kpathsea provides functions for searching files in the
+ large texmf tree.
+
+ * potracelib (http://potrace.sourceforge.net)
+ Peter Selinger's bitmap tracing library is utilized to
+ vectorize Metafont's bitmap output.
+ potracelib is now part of the dvisvgm source tarball, so
+ you don't need to create the library seperately any longer.
+
+ * zlib (http://www.zlib.org)
+ Compressed SVG files are produced by using functions
+ of this library and the Gzstream wrapper classes
+ (http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/compgeom/gzstream)
+ which are licensed under LGPL version 2.1 (or optionally any
+ later version) and should be included with this package.
+
+ If you want to build and run the testsuite located in the tests
+ subdirectory, you also need the googletest libraries
+ (http://code.google.com/p/googletest).
+
+
+COMPILATION
+
+ Quick installation info:
+ * type "./configure"
+ * type "make"
+ * type "make install" as root (or "sudo make install")
+
+ For generic configuration instructions see the file INSTALL.
+
+ The configure script should recognize all necessary parameters.
+ If a library is installed but not detected, specify its location
+ as commandline parameter of configure, e.g.
+ ./configure --with-freetype=/usr/local/freetype
+ (all available options can be displayed with ./configure --help)
+
+ The tracer module calls Metafont in case of lacking TFM or PFB files
+ via a system call. Please ensure that Metafont is installed and
+ reachable through the search path.
+
+ If you don't like compiling the sources yourself, you can
+ download pre-compiled executables for Windows and MiKTeX
+ from sourceforge.net instead (see below).
+
+
+USAGE
+ Information about the command-line interface and the available options
+ can be found in the manual page.
+
+
+ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
+ This packacke is available from CTAN (dviware/dvisvgm) and can
+ be downloaded from the project website at sourceforge.net as well:
+
+ http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net
+
+ Here you can find the sources, precompiled binaries and further additional
+ information about the converter and related topics.
+
+ If you've found a bug please let me know. You can either send me an
+ email or preferably use the bug reporting facilities at sourceforge.net
+ (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvisvgm).
