1. Create EPS
   

   $ tex Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.tex && dvips -E Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.dvi
   

2. Outline fonts
   

   $ eps2eps -dNOCACHE Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.ps Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness2.eps
   

3. Fix bounding box
   

   $ ps2epsi Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness2.eps Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.eps
   

4. Convert to Sketch
   

   $ pstoedit -f sk Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.eps Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.sk
   

5. Convert to SVG
   

   $ skconvert Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.sk Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.svg
   

6. Fix Cartesian_coordinate_system_handedness.svg with Inkscape
