PlutoSVG is a compact and efficient SVG rendering library in C, designed for parsing and rendering SVG documents embedded in OpenType fonts. It is optimized for speed and minimal memory usage. It supports all elements specified in the OpenType SVG specifications except clipPath
. It also supports the CSS var()
function for referencing colors defined in the CPAL table as custom properties. Additionally, it supports the style
attribute, the CSS inherit
keyword, and the <symbol>
element. This ensures compatibility with most SVG files exported from popular vector editors such as Illustrator, Sketch, Inkscape, Xara, and Corel Draw.
