             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: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
    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.
