Hey Carl,
thanks for the info. I'm CCing the inkscape list to let them have these information. Unfortunately the existing backend is not available from the URL stated in the message you point at. Any clues, where I could find it?
Take care!

By all means. I'm often quite lacking in clue.
I've been talking to folks from Inkscape about converting svg to pdf
and
since the development of Cairo is watched quite closely by them,
they
are wondering if maybe it is something that will be available in the near future and they don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Yes, the plan is to have a good PDF backend for cairo before our 1.0 release. And the current goal is to have that release out by spring 2005. So, we do hope to have an SVG->PDF path available by then.
I read on the webpage that pdf backend is still needed, but I'm not
all
that sure, what that means.
Ross McFarland put an initial version of the PDF backend together back in May:
http://cairographics.org/pipermail/cairo/2004-May/001407.htmlReal soon now, I'm going to pick up where that work left off and try
to
get something into CVS.
Any help would be quite welcome of course.
