I'm not through with this, but at least I have found and fixed a bug in
FOUserAgent that read the resolution value as if it were a pixelToMillimeter
value: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=357063&view=rev

The default value for the resolution is 72dpi.

Squiggle, it turns out, uses a user agent that reports 96dpi. That's why the SVG
image looks fine there. The same probably applies to the Adobe SVG Viewer and
the SVG support in Firefox. Only FOP uses 72dpi mostly because of PDF and
PostScript. I'm going to dig a little deeper here. At the very least, I want to
know why the images doesn't look good when I set the resolution to 96dpi.

> Have you been using Inkscape or you do SVG samples by hand ?

I have Inkscape installed and produced a few simple test files with it, but
always manipulating the produced SVG by hand afterwards. I also don't like
Inkscape too much because of the many bugs. I hope that will soon improve. Most
SVGs I create are by hand.
