rsvg producing blank pdfs #38

Closed silverfoxdoc closed 10 months ago

silverfoxdoc commented 1 year ago

since updating librsvg from 2.56.0 >> 2.56.2 on my mac using brew, the rsvg package no longer appears to be working properly.

When trying to convert an svg image to pdf inside R using rsvg_pdf the 2.56.2 version just produces a blank pdf. If I downgrade back to 2.56.0 and reinstall rsvg it works again.

I thought it might be a problem with librsvg itself, however, when I convert an svg to pdf using rsvg-convert at the terminal with version 2.56.2, it produces a correct pdf without an issue.

Seems to be a problem with how rsvg is using the updated version of the librsvg library. There unfortunately is no error output to the R console at all. It doesn't outright fail, as it produces a blank pdf file.

My only fix for this, is to downgrade librsvg back 2.56.0 and reinstall rsvg.

Hoping someone might be able to look into this. Thanks

this appears to have been fixed with librsvg update to 2.57.0
