Mediawiki's FClef gets broken by optimiser

[ydirson]

The svg at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FClef.svg has translation transforms (unlike their GClef one which is perfect, go wonder ;), and applying current SVG-Optimiser (201589e) produces a broken result.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm in the middle of trying to fix how the program works with paths. In the meantime, here's an optimised version of the SVG you sent:

It could actually be improved further by replacing the code for the circles with circle elements, but it's hard to automatically detect when a shape is essentially circular.

Thanks, I had optimized it using inkscape in the meantime - the
process is only hardly documented and can be tedious for more
complicated images, but it was workable here :)

Note, the mediawiki CClef has a similar structure, you may want to
check that one too.

Best regards,
