I'm starting to design an app that I'd like to have run on both GNOME and OS X. (other platforms an unexpected bonus) I've looked at wxWidgets and it's got (beta?) Cocoa support coming out on december 1 (hopefully). I think I am about to finally go learn to use wx stuff, BUT I need some serious SVG support. I'm not sure wx provides it, but before I start including librsvg into this project, I'd like to make sure. (I'd also like to know what kind of support wx has for being given rendered images directly in memory, if I have to use librsvg directly) Google isn't much help here. I've seen allusions to SVG support in several places, but none of the docs mention it. (afaict)

You could use ImageMagick which supports SVG (though how completely I'm not sure). It uses freetype2 and libxml2 which are both available for all three major platforms.

hmm.

librsvg depends on GDK and GLIB, which is fine for gnome, but not so much for OS X.

There is no OS X native port of GTK, so chinging toolkits is out, which means I need a different rendering library.

Any suggestions?

It seems a bit heavyweight. I'd really prefer a lightweight library...

There's libsvg, which is part of Cairo, but other than that I don't know of any except librsvg. I don't think libsvg and Cario are far enough along to use in any sort of production environment, but they may be worth a look.
