bug#27078: 25.2; wrong or ugly display of SVG image

(1) If an SVG image includes another SVG image and magnifies it,
    the displayed image looks like a magnified raster image.

(2) Numbers '0.xxx' in SVG parameters may be written as '.xxx'.
    Using such descriptions may cause wrong display.

(3) Spaces between numbers in SVG parameters may be omitted
    if distinguishable.
    For example '.1 .9' may be written as '.1.9'.
    Using such descriptions may cause wrong display.

I obtained librsvg-2.40.1-2-w32-bin.zip
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/.

appearance-*.png in attached tgz file are what are displayed in
emacs buffers viewing sample-*.svg by C-x C-f.

emacs.svg is copied from
emacs-25.2/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/emacs.svg

sample-icon-internal.svg: including contents of emacs.svg internally
sample-icon-external.svg: including emacs.svg as an external image
    sample-icon-internal.svg looks fine.
    sample-icon-external.svg looks like a magnified raster image.

sample-triangle-path.svg: a blue triangle in a red square
sample-triangle-polygon.svg: a yellow triangle in a red square
    sample-triangle-path.svg uses <path> tag for the triangle.
      <path d="M 0.1 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.5 0.1" fill="blue"/>
    sample-triangle-polygon.svg uses <polygon> tag for the triangle.
      <polygon points="0.1 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.5 0.1" fill="yellow"/>
    The first(bottom left) vertex coordinates are '0.1 0.9'.
    The second(bottom right) vertex coordinates are '0.9 0.9'.
    The third(top) vertex coordinates are '0.5 0.1'.
    Expected images are shown.

sample-triangle-path-omit-zero.svg
sample-triangle-polygon-omit-zero.svg
    The bottom left vertex coordinates are '.1 .9'.
    An expected image is shown for <polygon> tag.
    An unexpected image is shown for <path> tag.
    The vertex goes to '0 0'.

sample-triangle-path-omit-zero-and-space.svg
sample-triangle-polygon-omit-zero-and-space.svg
    The bottom left vertex coordinates are '.1.9'.
    Unexpected images are shown.
    The vertex goes to '0 9' for <path> tag.
    The coordinates are interpreted as one number '.1'
    for <polygon> tag.

sample-triangle-path-exp-omit-zero.svg
sample-triangle-polygon-exp-omit-zero.svg
    The bottom left vertex coordinates are '1e-1 .9'.
    An expected image is shown for <polygon> tag.
    An unexpected image is shown for <path> tag.
    The vertex goes to '0.1 0'.

    The bottom left vertex coordinates are '1e-1.9'.

Thanks, but I feel these issues should first be posted to the librsvg
forum first.  Emacs just uses the library, so any bugs/features in
that library are not something we can fix.  In fact, I'm not sure
someone here can even tell whether the issues you report are bugs or
features.  I certainly cannot.

I think librsvg 2.40.1 is too old.

You or someone else are welcome to port a later version.  Or maybe
someone already did, and you can just switch to using that newer port.

When I did the port last time, it was a significant effort, which
required me to port several prerequisite libraries.  I don't think I
will have that amount of time any time soon, sorry.
