Re: converting/including SVG

[Ben Saylor]

convert seems to rasterize the svg, and sketch-0.7.11 can't even import
it (just shows up blank, as do many other svgs I tried with it) :(  So
for now I'm just taking the full-page .ps and editing %%BoundingBox
according to the output of gs -sDEVICE=bbox.  It doesn't use the actual
canvas size of the svg, but at least it gives better results than
before.

Thanks,

Ben
