Hi Bill, In two recent commits I updated the invocation style of inkscape (version is determined at configure time) https://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/fbi-improved?view=revision&revision=2258 and implemented cairosvg-based conversion https://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/fbi-improved?view=revision&revision=2260 Now fim will use cairosvg if present, and as second priority, inkscape. Given the independence of cairosvg from X11, perhaps it's to be preferred over inkscape for the conversion. My overall opinion about conversions via external programs in fim is that I don't like them: too much space for inconsistencies of all sorts. I have them there mostly "to do the job" but if I find a possibly lightweight and stable library, I prefer that... ciao, Michele
