In order to use the Latex effect under Windows. You need:
- A LaTeX installation (recommended Miktex);
- If you installed Miktex, then you will have both latex.exe and
dvips.exe already in the PATH (if not make sure this is the case);
- Download and install "pstoedit", you will need to add the folder of
pstoedit.exe to the PATH;
- Install Ghostscript;
- For some reason the extension fails to check the PATH requirements.
Hence go to "(...)\inkscape\share\extensions" and edit eqtexsvg.inx (notepad or any text editor should just be fine). Remove the following three lines: <dependency type="executable" location="path">latex</dependency> <dependency type="executable" location="path">dvips</dependency> <dependency type="executable" location="path">pstoedit</dependency> Remember to save the file.
- (Re)Start Inkscape. Now you should have the Latex Equation option
(and it should be working).
The dependency check fails because on win32 systems there is no executable called "latex", it's called "latex.exe" instead. I changed the dependency checking a couple of days ago: the current development version will check for "latex", and if it cannot find it, it will check for "latex.exe".
Indeed a very nice extension!
