This is another feature update bringing these additions:

• Basic support for vertically oriented text.
• Support for DVI format 3 as created by pT_EX in vertical/tate mode.
  
• Support for DVI format 5 (XDV) as created by XeTeX with option --no-pdf.
  
• The numeric entity references in the generated SVG files have been replaced by corresponding UTF-8 characters.
• In the stylesheet section, font-size attribute values get an explicit px unit to ensure proper glyph scaling, e.g. in Opera and Safari.

This is a feature release with the following additions:

• Basic support for CMap files and CID-keyed fonts has been added. This enables the processing of DVI files created with pTeX, for example.
  
• dvisvgm also tries to translate character codes according to the available encoding tables stored in the referenced TrueType/OpenType font file.
• Support for OpenType (OTF) fonts has been added.
• If a DVI file contains bounding box information created by the preview package, the size of the SVG is adapted accordingly. Also, dvisvgm prints a message showing the assigned width, height, and depth values in T_EX point units. Especially, the depth value can be used to vertically align the SVG graphics with the baseline of surrounding text in HTML or XSL-FO documents, for example.

• The command-line option --linkmark has been extended to mark hyperlinked areas with an arbitrary background color.
• The processing of PostScript header specials has been improved.
• PostScript operator show creates much better results now.
• The DOCTYPE declaration has been removed from the generated SVG files as the W3C recommends to omit it.
• The encoding of the generated SVG files has been changed to UTF-8.
