Hi,

The best SVG->PNG converter so far is Inkscape, and we would like to use it for some conversion in one of our web apps. We would like to avoid installing the whole X11 stack on our server.

Is there a way to install only the needed parts, without X11 ? On Gentoo ? If yes, could you tell us how ?

Thanks for your help
JE

I think Batik is actually thought of as being a bit more advanced in rendering SVG, and the page I linked to talks about its rasterization capabilities. It's written in Java and doesn't need X.

I've also heard that the rsvg tool that comes with librsvg is pretty nice. It shouldn't need X, either.

You may want to give one of those a try first.
