Whatever the system has, see below.

With a very high probability it will be `svgnative', contributed by
Adobe:

  https://github.com/adobe/svg-native-viewer/

It's a special parser for `SVG Native', a forthcoming W3C standard
that exactly covers the use in OpenType.

Brand-new stuff, BTW :-)

The `svgnative' library already provides backends for CoreGraphics and
Skia; Toshiya-san started to write a Cairo backend, see
