I was making reference to the circumstance of the 14 Sep 2012 post by
John Ellson. pdf or eps support in NetBSD is what I'm looking for. SVG
has promise but first graph I make I will put in Latex, accept I've
not been able to put SVN graphics into Latex (yet).

If my inquiry is taken as disrespectful, apologies, but I was
misinterpreted. Clearly John, has a sound understanding of the problem
and capable of resolving it. My inquiry about ATT funding resources is
because it would seem to be a 20 to 60 hour task for a mid level
programmer but nobody is tasked with it. I would expect ghostscript
output (in unix!) a fundamental requirement; if the modern gostscript
has the described libcairo issues, a ray traced pdf is a lot better
than neither.

> Importing and exporting svgs works fine for me, on OS X, using the files I posted in the previous message, replacing occurrences of "png" with "svg". If that does not work for you, please post the error messages you receive, etc.

I've been using Apple since Macintosh, but I switched to Linux in the
90s and back to Mac in 2004, but a few years ago my powerbook died.
Today NetBSD is the biggest return for investment of my time, accept
for new hardware drivers so I run a Linux desktop at home. At work Mac
isn't an option. Nor is png a win for me and I'm sure errors using svg
are non-trivial. Unfortunately rendering svg is only half my problem,
I need graphics in Latex (so ps or pdf), I did get svg2pdf installed
and it will probably work.
