Some SVGs don't display correctly

[CTimmerman]

This one among many has some droop going on, most notably at the wrist:

This flag of Serbia looks half plucked:

This cog is also very droopy, unevenly so in its center:

Apparently related to the number of points:

Spyder's splash screen should have white text and a transparent gradient revealing a laptop presentation in the top half:

This folder SVG leaves its contents in the dark:

Left Chrome, right PyGame:

This flag of Montenegro is missing the top yellow bar:

Chrome 123.0.6312.122 (Official Build) (64-bit) and their respective apps show those SVGs properly.

Hello.

The SVG support is very limited. Unfortunately. It’s a mini svg renderer which works on only some things. The use case is when you’re constructing your SVG with the knowledge of what works.

pygame uses SDL image, which uses nanosvg.

It might be better to try something else for your use.

So the save function is in an upstream repo?

Adding libcairo libs is more work than disabling the import warnings for pygame.
