I spend a lot of effort to build newer cairo (1.12.14), but I am still far from the purpose. Somewhere I read that such problems could be caused by some outdated versions of cairo - mine is 1.9.14. I currently work in Mandriva Linux 2010 and use Inkscape version 0.47 r22583 (Jan 14 2010). (For me this is not a problem - the text always can be represented as curves). The complaints (found on the Web) are related to something like "incorrect font rendering" when exporting from svg to eps or back. Over last years I tried to search for a solution, but I cannot find that people complained. Unfortunately, Inkscape damages EPS files: it changes the colors and does not save all the objects. So I used to do when I worked with CorelDraw in Windows, but now I work in Linux. Using Inkscape I compose a figure, leaving needed objects, killing unneeded, and adding some markups. Second, I launch Inkscape and import the EPS files. First, I plot parts of my figure using matplotlib and save them in EPS format.

I use LaTeX, and I need my figures to be prepared as high-quality Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) images.

It is recommended that (additionally to saving frequently) you activate Inkscape’s Autosave feature, which you can find in Edit ‣ Preferences ‣ Input/Output ‣ Autosave.I have been trying to use Inkscape to prepare artwork graphics for my scientific papers. The file name consists of the original file name with the time and date of the crash.

When you first save your drawing, give your file a name of your choice, and select one of these extensions. For this reason, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S should be used frequently. The best way to prevent this from causing problems is to regularly save your drawing. However, some unfortunate actions can entail a crash. Activating Autosave prevents loss of work.
