After upgrade to TeXLive 2015 I can no longer convert xdv output of xelatex to svg with dvisvgm.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\begin{document}

$x^2$

\end{document}

Compilation:

$ xelatex -no-pdf mwe.tex 
$ dvisvgm mwe.xdv 
DVI error: DVI format 6 not supported

Is there a way to make xelatex output the previous DVI version 5? (which is supported by dvisvgm)

Note: dvisvgm support for DVI version 6 has already been requested.

  • I think there is no way. Lets wait for the update of dvisvgm.

    I've just added support for the new XDV format to dvisvgm. The code is available through the GitHub repository and will be part of the next release.

As noted in comments, the DVI (XDV) version produced by XeTeX is fixed and not user-controllable. Also as noted, dvisvgm has been updated to work with the latest XeTeX version so this is no longer an issue.
