+dvisvgm -- A DVI to SVG converter
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+ dvisvgm is a utility for TeX/LaTeX users. It converts DVI and EPS files to
+ the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG.
+
+
+DEPENDENCIES
+
+ dvisvgm relies on the following free libraries:
+ * Clipper (http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php)
+ To compute the intersections of two curved paths, dvisvgm flattens the paths
+ to polygons, intersects them using Clipper, and reconstructs the curves
+ afterwards.
+
+ * FreeType 2 (http://www.freetype.org)
+ This library is used to extract the glyph outlines from vector fonts
+ (PFB, OTF, TTF).
+
+ * Ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com)
+ The PostScript special handler requires the Ghostscript library
+ libgs.so (Linux) or gsdll32.dll/gsdll64.dll (Windows) to be installed.
+ If the configure script finds the corresponding Ghostscript development
+ files on the system, it directly links against libgs.so.N, where N is the
+ library's ABI version. Otherwise, the library is looked up at runtime,
+ and PostScript support is enabled only if libgs.so can be found. Due to
+ incompatible changes of the Ghostscript API, dvisvgm requires Ghostscript 8.31
+ or later.
+
+ * kpathsea (https://tug.org/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. Please ensure that you use the
+ kpathsea version coming with or matching your TeX system.
+
+ * potracelib (http://potrace.sourceforge.net)
+ Peter Selinger's bitmap tracing library is utilized to vectorize Metafont's
+ bitmap output.
+
+ * xxHash (https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash)
+ The xxHash library provides a fast hash algorithm. dvisvgm uses it to
+ create unique integer values from PostScript character names in order to
+ store them in a compact way together with their Unicode points. A recent
+ version of xxHash is bundled with the dvisvgm sources.
+
+ * 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 test suite 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 the project website instead (see below).
+
+
+USAGE
+ Information about the command-line interface and the available options can be
+ found in the manual page.
+
+
+ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
+ This package is available from CTAN (dviware/dvisvgm) and can be downloaded
+ from the project website as well:
+
+ http://dvisvgm.bplaced.net
+
+ Here you can find the sources, pre-compiled 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 tracker at GitHub (https://github.com/mgieseki/dvisvgm).
