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
