resvg (commit 5192641d) declares SVG fonts, external-SVG use, colour profiles and the direction/unicode-bidi attributes unsupported, and its SVG 2 checklist marks 31 items done and 69 not done; its claim that browsers fail some static SVG cases is the project's own (README not re-read).

resvg (commit 5192641d) declares SVG fonts, external-SVG use, colour profiles and the direction/unicode-bidi attributes unsupported, and its SVG 2 checklist marks 31 items done and 69 not done; its claim that browsers fail some static SVG cases is the project's own (README not re-read). Curator qualifications: Documents read 2026-10-22; no SVG rendered or PDF validated. SVG 2 CR snapshot date and resvg README test-count claim from producer reading. Limitations: Documents read 2026-10-22; no SVG rendered or PDF validated.
