Bug #: 38010
Summary: Re-evaluate librsvg as SVG renderer on Wikimedia wikis
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I don't know the exact history, but at some point Wikimedia wikis added the
ability to support inline SVGs by passing them through librsvg, which takes the
SVG code and generates PNGs, as I vaguely understand it.
There are some notes here: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_image_support>.
I can't find any information about which version of librsvg Wikimedia is
currently using, but the choice of using librsvg should be re-evaluated, given
its rendering issues (cf. other bugs in this bug tracker) and the existence of
perhaps better alternatives.
