  7. Hello Waluyo,
    thank you for posting your solution for others.
    For me it didn't work - Win7_64, Inkscape_0.48.4_r9939, GraphicsMagick-1.3.18-Q8 and Q16, pstoedit_v3.61, gs905w32, gsv50w32, texlive2013. All paths appear correct in system paths.
    pstoedit fails with a procedure entry point ... ... CORE_RL_Magick++.dll message. I have got this working well though:

    I will keep experimenting with the LaTeX formula method to see if I can discover my problem.
    Thanks again for posting your experience. (Chris Hanning)
