Hello Bryce,
Yeah, I had a look at the code, and you're probably right. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks! I'll have a look at them. However, my major goal, finding or implementig a solution that works under PHP+GD without using other software is still unsolved.
I'm just wondering if porting parts of the Inkscape code to php is somehow realistic, and thought i'd ask before actually trying it.
