To post a comment you must log in.
The extension "LaTeX formula" requires several tools to be installed in order to be loaded and executed from within Inkscape. The file 'extension- errors. log' in your Inkscape profile directory (%APPDATA% \Inkscape) logs which extensions are not loaded and the reason why. Note that not all extensions do work on all platforms out-of-the-box.
Requirements for "LaTeX formula": latex, dvips, pstoedit
Excerpt from ~/.config/ inkscape/ extension- errors. log:
Extension "LaTeX formula" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
