Comment 15 for bug 1510831

sorry, perhaps I spoke too vociferously...
I still think that this patch should be applied, just as a temporary measure, since it would be very helpful to have this in place for 0.92.

The underlying issue, namely, non-uniform scaling, is an extremely serious issue which is not going to be resolved any time soon, if ever, and we should not wait for it to get resolved. (For example, the rendering produced by IE11 is identical to Inkscape rendering, meaning the 'deficiency' is not just in Inkscape itself, meaning we could be waiting years for this to get resolved.)
