Ah, yes.  The Batik Squiggle rendering is the same as with Inkscape,
so Inkscape is definitely accurate here.

IIRC, Wikipedia uses `rsvg' to convert SVG->PNG, but I think they
convert all SVG text to paths first, so they never experience these
inaccuracies we are seeing.

For now, I'm okay with adding the PNGs directly and holding off on the
automatic generation, at least until we find a better solution.

Graham, I can create the PNG files if you'd like.  Can you adjust the
makefile?
