Disabled by default is > good enough for me (which it is in the RPM build, and that's all I > really care about). for now - enabled by default in src is good as it pushes the issue into the open. if i get some time i'll build librsvg from source - get debugging symbols, actually find the leaks and segv's and issues and maybe send a patch - until then anyone else game enough to do the same is welcome - file a bug report etc. unfortunately i don't know of any svg loader lib that is full-featured like rsvg (or as full-featured) and simple to use and "open" and "available". so the choices are: 1. no svg. 2. rsvg as-is and work around its problems (fork child, pipes, etc. etc.) 3. rsvg - send patches. 4. do our own svg loader and renderer (OUCH!). 4. is NON-trivial 1. is dead trivial - but comes with the problem of - no svg loading. 2 & 3 probably have give or take, about the same complexity, but 3. fixes things for everyone and keeps performance better. we can also try BOTH 2 & 3. > Michael > > -- > Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
