LÖVE

Does Love2D support vector graphics made in Inkscape?

No.

Not in any vector format anyway.

SVG is an open XML format. You might be able to write your own loader and reader, but it would take a lot of work.

Lua tables are much simpler to make vector graphics with in LÖVE. If you want to use Inkscape to create graphics, you might find this interesting: http://github.com/gvx/space/tree/master/asseteditor/

It is a converter from SVG to Lua tables, written by CyaNox for (my game) Space. I have no idea how it works, but it does, so I'm happy.

Note to self: try it, look for holes, host publicly for the rest of LÖVE

Edit: better yet, port to python. The actual implementation part is less than 20% of that (well done, but PHP) mess.

A while ago, I wrote a lib that supports the basic SVG functionality (except for stroke, fill rules, gradients and textures):
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=78537&start=10#p181146
It's possible to support every SVG feature in Lua but it's slow and requires a lot of extra math.
For games, it's better to convert the SVGs to a more reasonable format and load that.

a few years ago i considered writing an svg-handling lib, but even svg tiny's spec is over 400 pages so i just went "nope"

this was also before Meshes were added to love so it probably would have not been the most pleasant thing to implement

Some time ago, I was also thinking about an SVG workflow for love2d.

When you want to support different resolutions, it's a pain to work with raster graphics.

During my research I found this:

SVG Path Extractor for Corona SDK in Lua Language
https://github.com/singularity-is-i/SVG-Path-in-Lua

Lua library for easy SVG generation
https://github.com/cappelnord/EzSVG

nanoSVG
https://github.com/memononen/nanosvg

nanoSVG seems to me the best choice, but you have to write a nativ plugin for Love or a Binding via FFI (LUaJit).
