This is actually completely incorrect. Instead of 46 different
non-white pixels (which is what the bitmap has), the svg converted one
consists of 8 polygons. This actually makes it scale better (though
very chunky) than a normal bitmap scaling algorithm would do and it is
fairly easy to modify the svg to have smoother path nodes and more of
them to greatly enhance the scaled versions.
