Thank you.

That makes sense. Minimal is a pure QImage as „screen“ - no fonts at all. And „offscreen" is supported by e.g. Xnest for a long time with X11. The Qt docs contain the statement it works good with X11 and is unfinished on other platforms, AFAIR. Therefore I’d propose to make the whole lyxconvert „project“ platform specific as it tries to solve a problem we’re having on Mac only. The Mac bundle has the version-suffix at container level - no need to care for it in convertDefault.py. Instead I’d check for the platform and call lyxconvert on „darwin“ only with -platform minimal. Of course the user has to install Inkscape.app when he wants to include „real“ SVG images in his documents. What do you think? IMO, the benefit on Mac is enough to take the risk. That’s not true for the other platforms. Stephan
