Rasterizing SVG to PNG (31 files)...
0% [                                 ] 0.00% (0.1s) 
>> Rasterization complete.

Done, without errors.

No .png files are actually generated. The progress bar remains at 0%. I then ran strace -f -F -s 256 -o strace.log grunt svg2png --verbos https://clbin.com/Yp15a The interesting entry is listed below.

10793 read(14, "/home/ubuntu/SRIcons/node_modules/grunt-svg2png/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory\n", 65536) = 214

After seeing this I ran sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1. I then ran the grunt command above again and success!

Edit: Upon further inspection, it seems this may be a program with phantomjs (or the node wrapper). https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/search?q=libfontconfig&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93 Could grunt-svg2png be made to fail (exit non-zero) if phantom fails? This would at least notify the user that there is a problem.
