Hi guys,

I'm quite new to inkscape Recently I wanted to install the textext add-on to create LaTex Formulas but i ran into some problems during the process. However, I managed to solve most of it using the information provided in a previous thread in this forum here.

But I still get an Error when i try to apply a formula in the textext window. the error goes like this:

Error occured while converting text from Latex to SVG:


Has anyone any Idea on how to solve it?

Hi.

Sadly I had bad luck with latex either, but maybe there are some hints still present here.

@Lazur URH: Thank you, but i couldn't figure out anything new

i get the impression that pstoedit might be the root of the problem, as the problem lies in the conversion from LaTex to SVG. also, some people reported the same issue and had it fixed by pluging the pstoedit directory into the path variable. however, i already did this so this can't be the cause in my case. but maybe textext has trouble using the converter function from pstoedit which might have changed over the last year or so.. still, i think this problem is totaly fixable and i'm missing just a small part!

Did somebody fix that problem yet? I can't be the only one using Inkscape for Windows with the textext plugin!

EDIT: I forgot to say that the render LaTex Formula-Extension works just fine. So ghostscript shouldn't be the problem. But i want to use textext as i will have to write a lot of formulas!

You may get more straightforward help from the developers.
Try the live chat board or launchpad.

Thanks but after a few tries nobody seemed capable of helping me. I guess most of them do not have the textext plugin installed so they don't know about the headache xD

Now i wont give up hope so quickly. I'd really like to use this plugin! I hope there's still somebody who can help me out

One last push! :p I'd really like to see this problem solved..
