I have started playing with SVG images and managed to convert a logo from EPS to SVG. I also managed to edit the file a bit with a text editor but I would like to crop the image to just the bare logo. GIMP will import an SVG but can’t export as SVG, and I can’t make head nor tail of the path in the SVG.
Any ideas how to crop the image? Thanks 
Maybe you could try Inkscape.

Yes, thanks, I already had it installed but I cannot fathom it out even with tutorials!
Indeed it does, thanks. It seems so simple, it must be cheating! 
Actually the method that I use, which is usually very successful,
and one that I can fully recommend adding to one’s coding box
of tricks, is to simply practice " trial and error" techniques. 
It certainly worked well for your little problem.
