Latex Formula:
pstoedit must be installed with the SVG plug-in. The plug-in is
shareware and only available for Windows and Suse Linux 9.3 using g++ 3.4.5. (See: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit.)
It works with the "unregistered" version of it too, I tested it. So far I think we have nothing better to use instead.
I can't test it (at least not easily) since I normally use Inkscape with Fedora but according to the pstoedit website:
"Unless you get a key, these drivers will slightly distort the generated output. Colors will be changed and the letter e will be replaced by $."
I guess the effect gets around this problem by converting the text to paths and by patching the color (there is a cryptic line in the py file that says "# ouvrir le svg et remplacer #7F7F7F par #000000"). Windows users have the option of paying the shareware fee but it still leaves non-Windows users out of luck.
pstoedit will produce sk files which can be imported into Inkscape (if Skencil is installed). I don't know if the effect can be adapted to use this path.
