It converts DVI, EPS, and - PDF 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. - - * FontForge library (https://fontforge.github.io) - dvisvgm can be built with optional WOFF support that allows to embed the - font data in WOFF or TrueType format rather than as SVG. The FontForge - library provides the required functions to create font files in these - formats. A reduced version of the library is bundled with the dvisvgm - sources. - - * FreeType 2 (http://www.freetype.org) - This library is used to extract the glyph outlines from vector fonts - (PFB, OTF, TTF). - - * Ghostscript (https://www.ghostscript.com) - The PostScript special handler requires the Ghostscript shared library - libgs.so.N (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 during runtime, - and the PostScript support is enabled only if the shared library 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. - - * OpenSSL crypto library (https://www.openssl.org) - dvisvgm comes with a bundled implementation of the MD5 hash algorithm which - can optionally be replaced with the corresponding function of the OpenSSL - crypto library. If the configuration script finds the OpenSSL development - files on the build system, it links against libcrypto instead of the bundled - MD5 module. - - * potracelib (http://potrace.sourceforge.net) - Peter Selinger's bitmap tracing library is utilized to vectorize Metafont's - bitmap output. A recent version is also part of the dvisvgm sources. - - * ttfautohint (https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint) - dvisvgm can optionally be built with ttfautohint support to replace the - autohinting functionality of FontForge. Since it's still an experimental - feature, ttfautohint support is disabled by default. - The development files required for Windows can be found at - https://github.com/mgieseki/ttfautohint-dll. - - * woff2 and brotli (https://github.com/google/woff2) - These Google libraries are bundled with the dvisvgm sources. They are used - to create WOFF2 from TrueType fonts. - - * 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) - This library is required to create compressed SVGZ files. - - -BUILDING DVISVGM FROM SOURCE - - dvisvgm is written in C++11 (ISO C++ standard 2011) and requires an appropriate - compiler, like GCC 4.9, Clang 3.3, or any later version. The configure script - checks for the availability of C++11 support and adds the proper compiler - options if necessary. - - Quick installation info: - * ensure that the development packages of all libraries, listed above, - are installed - * type "./autogen.sh" if "configure" is not present in the dvisvgm - root folder - * either type "./configure" if you don't want to use the bundled libraries - brotli, potrace, woff2, and xxHash but link against the corresponding - system libraries, - or type "./configure --enable-bundled-libs" in order to build and - statically link the bundled libraries. - * 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 system's 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: - - https://dvisvgm.de - - 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). - - -COPYRIGHT - - Copyright (C) 2005-2021 Martin Gieseking <martin.gieseking@uos.de> - - This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it - under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the - Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your - option) any later version. - - This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but - WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
