Description Martin Sevior 2003-12-04 14:30:40 UTC 
It would be extremely helpful if gnome-print could both print SVG graphics
and print to SVG graphics (like it does to postscript and PDF). ie Make a
SVG representation of the presented document.

May be I can write the appropriate code. Anyway, I need this feature
for GChemPaint and it is already on my TODO list. I suppose I can find
some time for that in april or may.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2004-02-24 14:19:19 UTC 
A first draft of an svg backend has been added to cvs head (but it
does not compile by default).
Comment 3 Dominic Lachowicz 2004-12-03 03:35:19 UTC 
you can currently print *to* a SVG, provided that you enable the backend (it is
not enabled by default).

you cannot currently print *a* SVG without rasterizing first, but that's
librsvg's domain, not libgnomeprint's.

updating title to reflect status of bug.
Comment 4 Jody Goldberg 2005-01-04 21:25:32 UTC 
dom : What's the status of the svg backend.  Is it 2.10 material ?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2006-07-07 13:00:01 UTC 
any news on this? is this still an issue or can this be closed as obsolete?
Comment 6 Luke Hutchison 2006-09-25 18:04:16 UTC 
I just filed Bug 357655, which probably obsoletes this bug now that gnome-print is to be phased out...
Comment 7 Kjartan Maraas 2006-12-03 14:55:53 UTC 
Yeah, I think we'll close this one out then.
