SvgGlyphPainter Class

Draws the SVG artwork of an OpenType SVG glyph (an emoji, say) through the SVG renderer, onto a canvas. A render context hands one out from CreateSvgGlyphPainter, so text in a font with SVG glyphs draws as vector artwork rather than as the glyph’s outline.

Remarks

A drawing is built once per glyph, palette and text colour and kept, so a repeated glyph is built once. On a canvas that writes a document the artwork is shared by every occurrence at one size; on a bitmap canvas it is painted into directly, so a filter, a shadow or a flattened region sees the real glyph. A glyph whose artwork cannot be built is remembered as such and drawn as its outline.
