Inkscape may be worth looking at. It can export hpgl, svg and dxf, among
other things. The trick is to figure out if it will cope with eps or ps
files as input.

<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>I am using gEDA gschem 1.8.2 (g875406c) and GhostScript 9.26 on
Slackware Linux 14.2.</p>
<p>What I am trying to do is export my gschem drawing and import it
into QCAD. I "printed" the drawing to a PostScript file and=
tried
to use pstoedit to convert the PostScript file to a DXF file which
QCAD will import. This has worked well on a PCB eps exported file.
In fact I tested it today and it still is working. However,
pstoedit seems to fail. Rather, it seems to be GhostScript that is
failing when it encounters a "findfont" name in the gschem
PostScript file. I am pretty sure this process worked for me in
the past (years ago) when I had to convert a gschem drawing to a
DXF file. Something since then has changed and I expect that to
have been GhostScript, since it has been updated twice since I may
have used it. The gs versions I have had installed in the past are
9.19, 9.25, and now 9.26. According to my research on pstoedit,
the pstoedit failures started with the 9.2x series, if that helps.<br=

<p>My pstoedit command is:</p>
