Sorry, I can't reproduce the issue. It would be helpful if you could provide a minimal working TeX/LaTeX file that produces a dvi file which doesn't convert properly to svg.

I have not found how to attach a file, so here is the latex src code:
(just latex test.tex;dvisvgm -e test.dvi)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\pagestyle{empty}
\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}

á

\end{document}

Thanks for posting the example. However, it converts properly for me. Here's a screenshot of the rendered letter together with the computed bounding box (red): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15534106/bbox.png

Maybe the application you use to display the svg file doesn't evaluate the bounding box information properly.

Unfortunately, this tracker neither supports attachments nor inline images. Pretty limiting ...

Can you help with this problem?
