Comment 5 for bug 1183294

- just writing to confirm that the conversion works normally for me as well, when run from DOS, using Inkscape 0.48.4 and Windows 7
- what is mgs.exe ? Is your java code running it?

do you have multiple versions of Ghostscript installed? When you run gswin32c do you get something like this? gswin32c is the program that Inkscape calls.
