What is return code 254? #277

I'm using a blender extension called latex2blender and it appears as if the dvi conversion process is not exiting properly. Im getting some info that there is an exit code of value 254, and I was wondering how I might go about fixing it. Thanks!

Sorry, I can't help you with this issue, unfortunately, because I don't know the internals of latex2blender. I suggest to report it here. Error 254 might be related to invalid PostScript code in the processed DVI file. If you could post a minimal DVI file that latex2blender uses to call dvisvgm, I could have a look.

Edit: If possible, look for the .dvi file created by latex2blender and manually run dvisvgm on it. In case of errors, you should get corresponding error or warning messages which are not present in the error window of latex2blender.
