This is the plan, yes. SVG data will be sent to the external SVG
library, which will return a bitmap or pixmap. I don't want to blow
up FreeType with graphics code.

Dear Moazin,

Thank you very much Toshiya, most of the steps are exactly what I have

The current status of my document is like this:

Dirk told me that current Skia backend is designed for m70.
Also, maybe by some accident, Skia backend is forcibly disabled
if the platform detected by cmake is
