If you call dvisvgm without option -n
, you get an SVG file with font and text elements rather than graphics paths. The text of these files is usually selectable in the browser or SVG viewer. However, most web browsers don't support font elements so that the result looks wrong.
I don't quite understand how you convert the files to SVG using Inkscape. Do you call pdflatex
and then use Inkscape's function File
> Import
? What additional options do you select in the import dialog?

@mgieseki I made the conversion using the following steps:
pdflatex test.tex
pdfcrop test.pdf
inkscape -z test-crop.pdf --export-plain-svg=test.svg
I can understand your point, but I still don't know why inkscape works...

I see that inkscape does not convert some complicated texts well, which should be the same as dvisvgm
without -n
option. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the additional info.
Inkscape doesn't embed the glyph data into the SVG file but references external font files. So the browser loads the font file and takes the glyphs from there. Unfortunately, this doesn't work in all cases. There are TeX fonts containing glyphs that are not reachable by Unicode, e.g. big integral or sum signs (also see this question at TeX.SX). I'm already looking for a way to find a solution for this problem.
