element not supported

from svgren.

Excellent, thanks! I'll open the new issue about <style> support.

Also, for text and truetype font support, I believe nanosvg is borrowing some ideas from an stb header only library called stb_truetype: https://github.com/nothings/stb

Maybe I could also look into basic text support.

Thanks for reporting this! I'll have a look next week. I'm currently on a trip without access to the computer.

I think 'use' support can be implemented and I will start working on it next week. But support of 'text', which is also present in your example, is not planned in the near future, because it is too complex and will require storing fonts somewhere.

Ok! By now I'm somewhat familiar with your library and I might have some time to help you next week so let me know ;)

@JaimeIvanCervantes
Ok, finally, the <use> element is now supported in svgdom 0.2.49 and svgren 0.4.23.
But your example also uses the <style> element which is not supported yet.
For <style> support please open a new bug. Support for <style> will require implementing CSS selectors logic (https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html), I might need help on that.

I am doing some refactoring right now, moving stuff to different files...

Regarding the truetype, I think it is not a problem to use freetype, the other thing is that along with SVG file one will have to supply the fonts also to render the image, so it will be more clumsy. For now I consider it is simpler to just convert text to geometry in your favourite SVG editor and live with it :).
But I'm open to consider proposals regarding text support if any.
