    Hi!<br>
    <br>
    Just tried to use SVG graphs with rrdtool for the first time and it
    "somewhat" worked.<br>
    <br>
    The problem is that the text itself does not get shown (or at least
    only a tiny bit at the bottom of letters like "g", "p" or "[", "/",
    "]" shows)<br>
    <img src="cid:part1.07020103.09010500@martin.sperl.org" alt=""><br>
    (screenshot of the graph in firefox)<br>
    <br>
    The only thing that is surprisingly readable is the "RRDTOOL/TOBI
    OETIKER" to the top right<br>
    <br>
    The corresponding PNG graph with the same arguments works fine.<br>
    <br>
    The one thing that I found is that it is not using
    &lt;text&gt;...&lt;/text&gt; constructs but seems to process each of
    the letters separately - and that from a predefined symbol:<br>

    To me it looks as if there is a bounding box problem (moving the
    letters around in firefox+firebug shows that it has to be something
    with those "paths"...)<br>
    <br>
    Any Idea how i can fix that? (preferably without having to go thru
    the time-consuming hassle of upgrading all the OS provided libraries
    manually...)<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>

    <br>
    P.s: adding the option --font "TITLE:120:Courier" increases the size
    title of the graph and it is a bit "easier" to identify the letters&nbsp;
    like p and g from the "lower" parts (whatever they are called
    typographically).
