Stroke-to-fill conversion

[nical]

For correct strokes, it would be useful to have a way to convert a stroke into a filled outline.

This is particularly useful for generating fonts or icon fonts through SVG, the Rust community needs a library like picosvg.

As far as I know, only pathfinder supports the OutlineStrokeToFill function, but it is not perfect. Hope that the priority of this feature can be increased.

It's not as much a priority than an available spare time issue. If you would like to contribute an implementation I'd be happy to take it. For what it's worth, I suspect that pathfinder's glitches are due to how the filled shape is rendered rather than what outline it generates from the stroke, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thank you for your reply.

FWIW this would make the colored overlays on https://z0r.de/2245 uniform, as they should be.

FWIW, https://crates.io/crates/tiny-skia-path has a good implementation of this.
