title: Problems in rendering LaTeX for Inkscape 0.91 in Windows 7
body: <p>I find my Inkscape 0.91 for Windows 7 64-bit has problems in rendering
  LaTeX. What I did was:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1) Extensions - Render - LaTeX
  2) Enter "test" in LaTeX input
  3) Click "Apply".
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then, a <code>cmd.exe</code> window will pop out and just hang there. If I close
  this window, I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The
  script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will
  not be as expected.
  
  ^Cinvalid LaTeX input:
  test
  temporary files were left in:
  c:\users\admini~1\appdata\local\temp\inkscape-zxdypk
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could anyone please help? Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>PS: <code>latex</code>, <code>dvips</code>, <code>gs</code>, and <code>pstoedit</code> are already in system path.</p>

  <p>Update on 2015-08-02:</p>
  
  <p>I looked into the temporary files, and saw the eq.out file like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
  entering extended mode
  ! I can't find file `c:/users/admini'.
  &lt;to be read again&gt;
                     \protect
  &lt;*&gt; c:/users/admini~
                      1/appdata/local/temp/inkscape-wawis7/eq.tex
  Please type another input file name:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Seems like a problem with Line 127 of the <code>eqtexsvg.py</code> file, that
  Windows does not take this type of string as a valid file path.</p>
  
  <p>Is that so? Is it non-trivial to fix it?</p>
