Re: converting SVG
1. Prince (http://www.princexml.com) does SVG to PDF as vector
graphics from the command line, very nicely. Too bad it's proprietary.
e.g.
: prince drawing.svg drawing.pdf
2. Ask Inkscape -- it's free software; unfortunately, the result is
rasterized.
e.g.
: inkscape --without-gui --export-text-to-path
--export-eps=drawing.eps drawing.svg
From a sample 52 KB SVG file, Inkscape gives me a 420 KB EPS and
Prince a 20 KB PDF.
Cheers,
Christian
