Well ... At 19:53 +0000 23/12/08, I wrote: >Robert Longson replied to my query that FireFox uses Cairo for the >conversion. How Safari does it I don't know.

Since I wrote that I have found a way of converting to pdf using svg2pdf, which also uses cairo and opacity is rendered fine, so why FireFox is not respecting opacity attributes, if it is using cairo for the conversion, I don't know. On the other hand svg2pdf/cairo gives a bus error if any text is included in the svg, which is a severe limitation. Nevertheless it is serving my purposes pretty well at the moment.
