Re: [ft-devel] To Add support for the 'SVG' OpenType table to render color fonts.

[Alekh Gupta]

Sir,

    Another competitor of *librsvg* is *libresvg*. However,it is still behind librsvg in terms of SVG COMPLIANCE.But libresvg(resvg)  is completely written in rust while librsvg is porting to rust.

Some other SVG renderers are *scratch-svg-renderer*(_javascript_),*QtSvg*(c++).

Can someone please tell what is the header file *common.h* and *ftcommon.h* refering to in demo programs(ftview.c,ftstring.c) in tutorial II.

Regards.

-Alekh

There was an article on LWN recently that reported on a conflict in the Debian community about librsvg. Rust's main compiler is officially supported on just a few architectures (x86 mostly, I think ARM is still not officially Tier 1?), causing problems for Debian on fringe ones. 

Not that I necessarily think that this is a big issue. If macports decides to support discontinued macOS versions, they can do so on their own. If people want to run on fringe architectures, they may need to live without SVG support, which isn't a huge deal I think.
