I just opened the icon pack with SVG icons from the link below, and noticed that some icons have various strange looking areas. Is that just an issue with the program I was using to read the icons (Scribus), or they are really made that way?
From which link are these?
This is likely. SVG is not universally perfectly implemented due to its extensive complexity.
Sorry, seem like I forgot to include the link with the icon pack. Just edited my post above. 
If you are opening the AI files (as I don’t even see SVG files in there), then those were exported from Xara. There’s a note on the page that the export is not perfect.
As far I understand, the Rhino SVG icons are initially saved as *.xar file format, typically used by Xara Designer Pro +. Scribus, the free SVG program which I used, also could read *.xar files, but most likely the SVG import function is incomplete there.
Is there a way to open the complete Rhino SVG icon pack directly into Rhino’s viewport, then edit the icons via Rhino’s native NURBS and curve tools, then export the icons as SVG’s that will be read properly by Rhino’s own icon viewer?
Hi Bobi -
On top of that page, it says that those icons are the Rhino 4 icons.
For the SVG icons in Rhino 8, use the TestDumpSvgs command.
That will create a folder on your desktop with all SVG files.

I opened them in Xara and exported them to SVG.
Looks quite usable:

TestEatSvgs from that folder would be handy.
