No, my output is fine (convert 6.5.4.8). It's possible that your
imagemagick is not compiled with rsvg support. You can check this
with
$ convert identify -list format | grep SVG
But we can't rely on that. As great as imagemagick is, its native
SVG->PNG conversion capabilities are horrible. Even when it uses the
rsvg backend, the PNG output is not optimal, and I had to add all of
those command line switches to improve the output.
I really wish we could convert the SVG text to paths, but apparently
there are plans to *translate* the examples, so we would need the text
data from the SVG files.
Thanks,
Patrick
