To reduce the output file size for B&W PNG pictures I use the
following command:
  pngtopnm foo.png |pnmdepth 1| ppmquant 2| pnmcrop -white|
    pnmtopng -transparent white > bar.png

pnmcrop just crops the picture margins.

I've just committed a fix for the gaf utility which enables direct
SVG output with the command like this:
  gaf export -o foobar.svg foobar.sch

You can try it out. For me, it works better than the sch->eps->svg
path since the eps->svg part breaks my custom utf-8 font view. Its
output size is bigger, though.

Are you using some plugin? If so, we could use it in the gEDA
wiki.

A few years ago I tried three dokuwiki plugins for svg support,
some of them seemed to be working but no one worked well.
