Fails to convert svg (which contains <use> tags) #26
Description
The attached svg does not seem to get converted in to the png sprite (nor does it throw an error btw).
I suspect the tags to cause the problem
a- is there a way to ensure it does convert? and if not
b- do you have any recommendation on any tools that can replace tags with the referenced tags? preferably a commandline tool rather than some gui

I had a quick look at your SVG. I think you're running into an upstream issue (mapnik/mapnik#2968) with xlink:href properties in Mapnik's SVG renderer – which is what spritezero uses under the hood. As a workaround, consider applying the
fillandstrokeproperties directly to your path.jliebrand commentedon Feb 19, 2018
Thanks - that mapnik bug was raised three years ago with the last update one year ago... doesn't sound like that'll get fixed any time soon?
Unfortunately the svgs I have (lots of them) are produced via figma.com where I do not have control over the export properties. And I've yet to find a tool that can (mass)update them either :-/
