Converting to EPS / Converting Fonts to Curves

[Zitan Broth <zi...@mediasculpt.net>]

Greetings All,

I'm looking for a package to convert SVG to rasta graphics, and also a package that converts SVG to EPS.  I am very sure that Batik can convert SVG to Rasta (it says on the home page ;)), but not so sure about EPS.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  I did find a previous saying you could convert to EPS ::  "The Batik package includes an SVG-to-PostScript "rasterizer". " but just thought I'd check,,

As an aside, using Corel 10, I have taken a SVG file, with text, and coverted this text to "curves" or "paths" (good for print) it is possible to do such a conversion with Batik?

Any help /comments are **greatly** appreciated ....

Kind Regards,
Zitan

    If you look closely FOP uses Batik to render any SVG.  Similarly 
Batik actually uses
FOP's PDF output classes to generate PDF.  So it really depends on what 
you want
'on top' - SVG or XSL-FO.

    The PDF output classes actually go to fairly great lengths to avoid 
converting
text to 'paths'.  I don't think there is any way to avoid this aside 
from using
SVGFonts for the text.

I just found this link : http://xml.apache.org/batik/svgrasterizer.html where the output mime type can be pdf or tiff.  This pdf output (postscript) looks like what I need (I could also use FOP, but Batik is a specialised svg package so should be better) :-)

Still not sure about this :-)

Thanks,
