How to replace Qt svg render engine?
Hello,
Qt 4.8.x on Linux.
The svg render engine is pretty awful. Graphics we get have both transparent backgrounds and some drop shaded borders, When rendered with Qt they are just ghastly. Images look phenom in inkscape. They also look great on the MAC/Apple products which created them and in that dead platform known as Windows.
I see this problem has existed since the days of Nokia owning Qt so I'm guessing most developers found a way to load a different rendering engine to get around it.
Anyone done it? If so, how?
Thanks,
Roland

Qt has never claimed to support anything more than the static features SVG Tiny which does not contain a lot of the advanced features of SVG 1.1. QtSvg 5.0: Rendering SVG Files
To use something else find a suitable SVG C/C++ library, write the code, and link it to your application. Librsvg might be a option. Once you have a rasterised view of your SVG then can use Qt to display (probably via QImage).
