Hi Greg and everyone , I do have cairo installed
>import cairo
Works fine
To generate the svg , I am using the MolToFile method from Chem.Draw
from rdkit.Chem.Draw import MolToFile
self.rdkitmolecule = rdkit.Chem.MolFromSmiles(self.smiles_string)
def make_svg_file(self):
return MolToFile(self.rdkitmolecule,"%s.svg" % self.compound_id)
I think its Adobe Illustrator CS3 thats screwing up, since the svg
works just fine in Inkscape, Chrome browser and Firefox and also
validates with the w3c svg validator.
I was just hoping there is a way to tweak the file to have it not blow
up my font characters in Adobe Illustrator. Its sad that a commercial
solution like Illustrator does not support true SVG.

Thanks
Hari
