I saw you mentioned inkscape - can you point me to where it's used?  I
use it with popen.process('inkscape...') and hoping there is something
better:

This tweaks an svg, writes it out and uses inkscape to render a png:

    cooked_svg_name='%s.svg'%output_base
    open(cooked_svg_name,'w').write(xml.etree.ElementTree.tostring(tree[0]))
    png_name="%s.png"%output_base
    if self.options.verbose: print png_name
    cmd=["inkscape", cooked_svg_name, "--export-png", png_name]
    self.run_cmds(episode,[cmd])

That works, but I am hoping that I can inject things into a live
inkscape session so that I can query the size of the resulting object,
and maybe change the font size if it is too big, like the title slide
here:
