SVG support on Mac (without Inkscape) does not work

See original GitHub issue

Prerequisites

I have written a descriptive issue title
I have verified that I am using the latest version of Magick.NET
I have searched open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported

Description

On macOS my code never returns from the following line:

ImageMagick.MagickImage img = new ImageMagick.MagickImage(imgBytes);

where imgBytes is the byte array with my svg image (note that on Windows it works)

I haven’t installed Inkscape nor RSVG but I read that it should work also without these two software.

Am I correct?

I have no idea if they do but I am happy that you got your issue resolved.

The fix for fontconfig appears to be setting the font directory. In the next release you will be able to do this MagickNET.SetFontConfigDirectory("/opt/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig"); You should do this call before you call any other Magick.NET methods.
