(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 tag for the triangle. sample-triangle-polygon.svg uses tag for the triangle. 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 tag. An unexpected image is shown for 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 tag. The coordinates are interpreted as one number '.1' for 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 tag. An unexpected image is shown for tag. The vertex goes to '0.1 0'. sample-triangle-path-exp-omit-zero-and-space.svg sample-triangle-polygon-exp-omit-zero-and-space.svg The bottom left vertex coordinates are '1e-1.9'. Unexpected images are shown. The coordinates are interpreted as one number '0' for tag. The coordinates are interpreted as one number '0.1' for tag.
