I realize that a new converter is a heap of work and will likely not start soon unless somebody with the skills volunteers of another pays for it.

It still is something that should be put in the line for further consideration. Freehand is one of the old great programms of vector design, and since today both Freehand and Illustrator belong to the same company does not get any further development.

Many design companies will use their existing Freehand licenses for quite some time, and when they start to look for something else they will only consider software that is able to open all the old .fhX files. Since they HAVE to change some day, however, they might consider Inkscape if it offers FH-support. There is quite some potential in this converter.
