Arch Linux

Description: When attempting to add a Latex equation to a project in inkscape, an error occurs and no output is produced.


Additional info:
* package versions: inkscape-0.92.2-5, ghostscript-9.22-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install inkscape
2. Install dependencies to enable the Extensions -> Render -> LaTeX menu (pstoedit and ghostscript)
3. Ensure that ghostscript is at version 9.22-1
4. Open inkscape, click on menu Extensions -> Render -> LaTeX...
5. Attempt to render Latex code (i.e. type $\tau$ and click Apply)

Workaround:
Downgrading to ghostscript-9.21-3 fixes the issue

Error message (in popup):
*** WARNING - the DELAYBIND command has been deprecated, and will be

removed in the next version. For now you can restore

the behaviour by using -dREALLYDEALYBIND but if you

require continued use of this command you should contact

the Ghostscript developers. Commercial customers of

Artifex should email their support contact, free users

are encouraged to talk to us on the #ghostscript IRC

channel on irc.freenode.net.
