CTAN Update: dvisvgm
dvisvgm 2.11 is a maintenance release which implements the fallback mechanism for JFM-based virtual fonts proposed by Takuji Tanaka to reduce the size of VF files. This version also improves the handling of Unicode fonts and fixes the processing of pdf:mapline specials. Further information on the utility can be found at https://dvisvgm.de.

dvisvgm – Convert DVI, EPS, and PDF files to Scalable Vector Graphics format (SVG)
Dvisvgm is a command line utility that converts TeX DVI as well as EPS and PDF files to the XML-based Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. It provides full font support including virtual fonts, font maps, and sub-fonts. If necessary, dvisvgm vectorizes METAFONT’s bitmap output in order to always create lossless scalable output. The embedded SVG fonts can optionally be replaced with graphics paths so that applications that do not support SVG fonts are enabled to render the graphics properly. Besides many other features, dvisvgm also supports color, emTeX, tpic, papersize, PDF mapfile and PostScript specials. Users will need a working TeX installation including the kpathsea library.
