[ft-devel] libsvgtiny (Re: [ft] Three GSoC projects for FreeType)

[suzuki toshiya]

Dear Sylvain,

Excuse me, please let me confirm your intention.
Which is the background of "I cannot answer this question by myself".

a) libsvgtiny should be audited from now, because we (including both
of you and me) have not audited.

b) we (including both of you and me) don't know the required features
of SVG in SVG-OT, so it's not the time to discuss "the image element
is not supported or not", because we should decide "the support of the
image is needed or not" before asking it.

which is your position?

Regards,
mpsuzuki
