svg files generated with dvisvgm -n are blank in OpenOffice

[nobody]

When I generate svg images from dvi equation files using "dvisvgm -n" the resulting files look great in various applications, but, in openoffice they import as completely empty. Using "dvisvgm" without the "-n" imports ok to openoffice but the fonts are all messed up - also "dvisvgm -c 10" is blank again. I "think perhaps the xlink interpretatoin screwed up in openoffice. I tried with --no-styles and every option I could think of, but nothing fixed the problem.

Thanks for reporting this. However, there isn't much I can do about it because it's probably an issue of the OOo SVG import filter. To be sure, please send me the dvi file and I'll have a look.

I uploaded an example dvi file here - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/172219/temp.dvi

The file temp.odg was added: None

The dvi file converts fine with dvisvgm 0.9.1 and when using option -n I can import the resulting svg in oodraw 3.2.0 without problems (see the attached file temp.odg).

Can you also import it into an ooimpress presentation? Strange, though, I am using OO 3.2 as well and Ubuntu 9.10/10.04. :/

No, an import into ooimpress doesn't work. This must be a bug in the SVG import filter, as the SVG file is correct. You might want to report this to the OO development team.
