Failure to import SVG file with empty initial <g> element

[treacherousfiend]

When importing an SVG file with multiple <g> elements, if the uppermost one has no path, msdfgen will fail to import with the "Failed to load shape from SVG file." error. These files do import correctly into Inkscape and Krita, and you can reproduce an erroring SVG file yourself with Inkscape by creating an empty layer which is a parent for other layers which have paths in them

Alternatively, I have 2 error inducing SVG files below, one made via a blender plugin to convert curves into SVG, and one that is made in Inkscape using the method above blenderpluginsvg inkscapesvg

I am not able to reproduce this problem. Are you using the latest version?

I'm using the latest release, should I try to build the current commit?

[Chlumsky]

Yes, SVG parser was updated after the 1.10 release.

that worked, thanks!
