Excellent piece of software, which gets better with every release. Two month ago I reported a bug via their bug report system. I got information mails throughout the complete bug fixing procedure. With this release the bug fix is available (Buggy text rendering in SVG). Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece. It is highly appreciated.
