I don't want to = depend on anything. Your method is just adding other
depend= encies to ghostscript if you start with ps, and other
depen= dencies, if not ghostscript, including C++ code that is inability
to port on Plan9, if you use pdf.


I don't have any dependences remaining you= misinterpreted something.

In the first ti= me I needed some way to handle pdf files I had to connect to a linux machin= e in my network where the conversion from pdf to ps was done by using comma= nd line tools. The result of this conversion were first jpeg files afterwar= ds svg files for which I wrote a renderer in plan9. The second step was to = write a converter pdftosvg which works for pdf files I had to handle. No C+= + no postscript interpreter. If you have to handle pdf files with embedded = postscript than I wish you good luck.
