My point was not about quality od the output, but about adaptation do document
fonts.
However, what I did was to export tp eps (to get a vector graphics eps)
and then to run pdflatex on the lyx file (which in turn runs epstopdf of the
vector graphics
eps to get a vector graphic pdf).
Direct export from svg to pdf does nor crop the figure,
otherwise I would have tried direct export to pdf.
Looking closer to the eps file, it is a set of GS command to draw the formula:
no fonts
in it, nor of course in the converted pdf file:
-> pdffonts integral.pdf
name type emb sub uni object ID

Thus it seems that Inkscape draws the formula in vector graphics.
I use Inkscape 0.43 (Nov 30 2005)
Maybe a more recent versioon does a better job with eps and pdf exports ?
It is correct your guess: Inkscape draws the formula in vector
graphics. You can export a cropped pdf picture directly from Inkscape:
fit page to selection in Document Properties. However, my svg picture
is already cropped; so, you just need to save it as pdf. Anyway, it is
true that formulas are drawn, but it does not really matter, in my
opinion, as you can always change the fonts with which LaTeX draws the
eps formulas.
