+dvisvgm is a fast DVI (and EPS) to SVG converter
 
-The command-line utility dvisvgm is a tool for TeX/LaTeX users. It converts DVI
-and EPS files to the XML-based scalable vector graphics format SVG. In contrast 
-to bitmap graphics, vector graphics are arbitrarily scalable without loss of 
-quality.
-
-All modern web browsers support a large amount of the current SVG standard 1.1. 
-Furthermore, SVG files can also be displayed with the Java-based Squiggle SVG 
-browser which is part of the Apache Batik project, and the free vector 
-graphics editor Inkscape.
+The command-line utility dvisvgm is a tool for TeX/LaTeX users. It
+converts DVI and EPS files to the XML-based scalable vector graphics
+format SVG. The latest releases support standard DVI files (format 2) as
+well as DVI output created by pTeX in vertical mode (format 3), and XeTeX
+(format 5 and 6, also known as XDV).

+dvisvgm version 1.6 is present in SlackBuild texlive-2014052
+This separate package presents an updated version 1.11 of dvisvgm
+offereing various bugfixes and the following main features:
+* Complete font support including virtual fonts, evaluation of font
+encodings, CMap files, sub-font definitions and font maps.
+* Glyph outlines of all required fonts are embedded into the generated
+SVG files.
+* Glyph outlines of fonts that are not available in a vector format are
+generated on-the-fly by vectorizing METAFONT's bitmap output.
+* dvisvgm allows to replace font definitions by paths so that
+applications without SVG font support are enabled to render dvisvgm's
+output properly.
+* Computes tight bounding boxes for the generated graphics, but supports
+common paper formats and arbitrary user-defined sizes as well.
+* Option --eps allows to convert EPS files to SVG.
+* Intersections of clipping paths can be computed directly instead of
+delegating this task to the SVG renderer. This increases the
+compatibility of the generated SVG files.
+* Approximates PostScript color gradient fills not directly supported by
+SVG 1.1.
+* Optionally creates compressed SVGZ files.
+* Provides options for applying page transformations, like translation,
+rotation, scaling, and skewing.
+* Evaluates color, emTeX, tpic, hyperref/HyperTeX, PDF mapfile, and
+PostScript specials.
