Hmm, looks good.
One issue that'll need to be addressed, though, is that not all the renderers are using the same initial DPI.
I notice that some of the renderers provide options for controlling the DPI settings. I'd welcome advice on how best to configure this.
Another issue I ran into was that the behavior of the renderers when specifying the width but not the height varies quite a bit, as you can see from the pngs. Unfortunately, the behavior when you specify arbitrary height and width also varies quite a bit from program to program, so that isn't a solution either...
This is the reason that the mdiff scores are so high for Inkscape; it's height/width handling is more inconsistent with the other renderers than they are with each other.
Anyway, I think it could be coded around, but I decided to punt on the issue for now. Ideally, we'd get all the renderers to behave similarly. More realistically, I think it may be necessary to pre-calculate the aspect ratio and set height and width accordingly, but I didn't have a clear idea on implementation so decided to leave it for a future release.
