Nice. Would it be difficult to also make it work for SVG? The result would be much smoother, as SVG rendering usually also involves anti-aliasing. I know there is a command rsvg under Linux, which can render SVG files to various bitmap formats. (I usually prefer PNG.) Would it be possible to call such a command from a PHP script, and then send the output file as answer to the request?
All XBoard pieces are available as SVG, and Greg is already working on converting Alfaerie to SVG.
