Decent Multi-Format SVG Converter? 27
gbulmash asks: "I've been messing with the graphics in the Open Clipart Library and it feels as if SVG is a standard like 'meatball' is a standard. Most of the graphics render just fine in Inkscape, but you'll get 5 different renders in 5 different applications. For example, one of the Baby Tux drawings renders differently in Firefox, Corel Draw X3, Illustrator, and Inkscape, and generates error messages from Batik's rasterizer. If I use Inkscape to export to EPS, the EPS opens in Illustrator pretty much like the SVG does, but (and this may be a problem with Corel) doesn't import well into Corel Draw X3. Is there an application that can render SVG images as well as Inkscape can, but will also produce an output to EPS & SWF that looks like the render? Is there something that can output to a more normalized SVG that will render more faithfully in Illustrator or Corel for the sake of conversion to EPS and SWF?"

Sounds like an article that trudges through SVG compliance for
all these programs is needed.

Make sure to use at least FF 1.5 as the 1.x series renders very poorly.

Anyway, I'm sure that the Inkscape folks would be interested in bug reports if there's something wrong with their EPS export. You could also try saving as PDF instead and see if that works better.

Huh? The standard Linux desktop environment is GNOME and it uses GTK, so it is likely that you already have GTK on your system. Even those who are still stuck with an older system such as KDE usually have GTK installed. I don't see how it could be a "killer argument". If you want the best environment and the best applications, you will need GTK anyway. And just in case you would be using some other operating system, you can also install GTK for Windows or for MacOS X.
