In 2004, some hacky code was actually written to do this using librsvg: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-09/msg00886.html It sounds like you're saying this code is not well written. Is that what you mean? 1. If it isn't well written, it is not the right solution. 2. If it is well written, we could add it (after the release), if we get legal papers from the authors.
