Comment 52 for bug 55273

Sadly, the patch did not fix my problem so I did some more digging on my own. Mike Wimmer suggested that my system is missing software. I dug around in the /tmp directory and it looks like everything works correctly up to the part where pstoedit generates the svg. After toying around with pstoedit for a bit, I got it to tell me:

Unsupported output format plot-svg

Apparently Hardy's pstoedit was compiled without svg support! After getting some dev packages (libplot-dev, librsvg2-dev) and recompiling from source (http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit), everything works fine.

This should fix Kenshiro's problem as well.

Now, I just wish the UI had a bigger box to type in. Oh, and that you could edit already-rendered equations like textext could.
