Displaying SVG in OpenGL without intermediate raster

Question

I have some simple SVG artwork (icon and glyph kind of things) which I want to display in an OpenGL app (developing in C++ on Debian, using Qt).

The obvious solution

Answer 1

It looks like Inkscape has some interesting export options you may find useful. They include DXF, PovRay, EPS, PS (PostScript), XAML, Latex and OpenDocument Drawing (ODG). Perhaps there is a converter for one of those and you could use Inkscape as an intermediary.

DXF in particular is a likely candidate since it is a common 3D format already. assimp is a good candidate for loading DXF.
