How to test that it is improperly rendered:
const sharp = require('sharp');
sharp('fixtures/avi.input.svg').png().toFile('1.png');
The output file is completely blank. The expected output is an "AVI" text.

Expected output (screenshot from a finder)

Hello, it looks like librsvg might be having problems with the transform property of the clipPath element. Removing the transform and setting its x and y properties to zero works.
- <clipPath id="clip-path" transform="translate(-36 -710.64)">
- <rect class="cls-1" x="36" y="710.64" width="72.171" height="40.896"/>
+ <clipPath id="clip-path">
+ <rect class="cls-1" x="0" y="0" width="72.171" height="40.896"/>
</clipPath>
The next step is to try to reproduce this using the rsvg-convert command line tool from the latest version of librsvg.
Using rsvg-convert v2.40.20 generates the expected output but v2.45.4 generates a blank image so this looks like a recent regression introduced into librsvg.
Please can you report this upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/issues
Has anyone reported this upstream? (I had a quick look but couldn't see any related issues.)
Closing as there's nothing sharp or libvips can do. Please report this upstream at librsvg if it continues to be a problem.
