ImageMagick convert no longer respects -density

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
At some point in the past couple of months (before I upgraded to 1.8.0, but I don't know precisely when), ImageMagick's convert program stopped respecting the -density option.
convert something.svg something.png
produces a 72dpi version of the source SVG file. It used to be the case that
convert --density=150 something.svg something150.png
would produce a 150dpi version of the source SVG file.
Today, the density option is simply ignored and the resulting PNG is always 72dpi.

You should report this problem to the developers of ImageMagick.

I subscribed to magick-bugs and sent a message, but haven't seen any reply, nor has the message appeared in the magick-bugs archives. I believe you're subscribed, did you get my message? If nothing turns up in another 24 hours or so on the archives, I'll send it again.

I have not seen your message, but I have seen it take some time for messages to show up on the list. It may be moderated, so I would just wait awhile.

Installing the +rsvg variant of ImageMagick fixes this problem. I don't know what that says about whether or not the +rsvg variant should be a variant or if it should be the default.

rsvg has a very large number of dependencies and not everybody needs to convert svg files, so I think it's fair to keep it as a variant.
The rsvg variant was added on 2008-04-18 to fix #15036. Before that time, librsvg would have been automatically used if present, which violated MacPorts policy of not using software on which a dependency has not been declared.
