dvisvgm 3.0 is a new major version of the utility that’s still considered beta status. While the new version doesn’t bring
many obvious new features, essential core functionality has changed under the hood. The following list gives an
... [More]
overview of the
most important changes and additions.
The previously bundled reduced FontForge library has been replaced with a dedicated font writer library used to create TrueType
and WOFF files from the font data processed by dvisvgm.
A new PDF handler based on mutool has been added to retain dvisvgm’s PDF conversion
functionality after the removal of Ghostscript’s old PDF interpreter
announced for version 10.1.0.
The new handler supports all font options of dvisvgm, i.e. in contrast to the current Ghostscript-based PDF processor,
fonts can not only be embedded as paths but also as SVG, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 fonts (depending on options --no-fonts and --font-format).
The new handler is still experimental and may contain bugs. Please report any issues via the
issue tracker at GitHub.
Not all PDF features are supported – either because there is no simple equivalent in SVG or because mutool doesn’t provide
means to access the corresponding data. For example, Type 3 fonts and color gradients fills are not yet processed by dvisvgm’s
new PDF handler.
The former Ghostscript-based PDF handler is still available. It’s automatically invoked if dvisvgm finds a proper Ghostscript
version. Otherwise, it looks for the mutool executable through the system’s search path and uses the new handler in case it’s found.
The desired PDF handler can also be selected by setting environment variable DVISVGM_PDF_PROC to either gs or mutool.
Option --embed-bitmaps has been added to allow for embedding of external images referenced in DVI files into the generated
SVG files. By default the SVG only contains a reference to the image.
The optional filters :even and :odd have been added to option --page which limit the given page ranges to even and odd
page numbers respectively.
You can download the sources and pre-built binaries for MiKTeX from the project page at GitHub.

Fixed the size of bounding boxes applied when converting multiple pages
(issue #182).
Try to enable the old PDF interpreter when using Ghostscript >= 9.56.0.
dvisvgm does not work with Ghostscript’s new PDF interpreter.
