I recently installed a mediawiki and am trying to set it up to render svg images. My linux host has the GD Library version 2.0.34. The documentation at the wiki says to enable $wgUseImageMagickhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUseImageMagickto enable ImageMagick but what about the other libraries? What do I have to do to enable MediaWiki to display thumbnails of svg images?
Currently, to support SVG images properly you need some sort of software to rasterize them; that's not built in to the GD library.
The global config variable $wgSVGConverters includes a default set of possible rasterizers; of which the default select (in $wgSVGConverter) is ImageMagick's "convert" command.
ImageMagick isn't the best SVG renderer, but it's perhaps more likely to be installed than others.
For several pages of documentation about SVG setup, see the wiki:
