My advise: forget QtSvg. It's not developed anymore. It's there as
"completed" and will only be "kept alive", the Qt team is not going to
add any features to it unless someone wants to take maintainership. If
memory serve3s me right the advised way it to use Webkit to render a
SVG because it's svg support is far better then QtSvg.
