Subject: GNU ELPA - SVG badge broken
Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2021 02:18:54 +0900

Recent built packages have broken badges.

The badge from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/vertico.html is not broken.
(vertico 0.14, updated 2021-Aug-11)

The badge from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/consult.html is broken.
(consult 0.12, updated 2021-Oct-11)

I read the broken badge (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/consult.svg) and 
elpa-admin.el. I suspect `elpaa--string-width` returns 0.

Perhaps Stefan has some insight here; added to the CCs.

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but this code is from Daniel,
so maybe he has an idea of what's going on?

The code uses imagemagick "convert" to determine the width in pixels,
which is font dependent. So I assume something broke on the system -
update of the system package, or maybe imagemagick or the font was
removed. This part of the code is not exactly robust unfortunately - if
I recall correctly, you even had to install a few missing packages to
get this to work after I implemented the badges.

Somehow the font was removed, indeed.  So your crystal ball was right on
the money; sadly, I was too dense to figure out what to do with that info.
