Isn't there supposed to be a feature to render LaTeX? Under Effects>Render?
Or have I misinterpreted something? (I can't find the feature on Windows version 0.44.1)
thanks, gary
There is a LaTeX formula extension under Effects>Render on Linux, is that what you're thinking? I've never used it though.

I guess so. It's not there in the Windows version.
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).
It works (sort of -- see below)! This is fabulous functionality. Thanks to those respsonsible.
fine print: It only works if I start Inkscape from an Administrator account. If I start it from a user account, I get the following python error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "share\extensions\eqtexsvg.py", line 121, in ? e.affect() File "C:\Program Files\multimedia\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 123, in affect self.effect() File "share\extensions\eqtexsvg.py", line 107, in effect svg_open(self, svg_file) File "share\extensions\eqtexsvg.py", line 54, in svg_open svg_lines.pop(1) IndexError: pop from empty list
I program in python, so I'll take a look and see if I can figure anything out. Which brings up a question that I'll start a new thread for ...
