Ok, I got rid of all bitmap images: https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=svg-images Now, all images are in SVG (one is actually a .dot file - while we don't have an extension to handle it, I opted to keep both .dot and .svg on my development tree - I'll likely add a Makefile rule for it too). I converted the ones from pdf/xfig to SVG, and I rewrote the other ones on SVG. The most complex one was cropping a bitmap image. Instead, I took the "Tuz" image - e. g. the one from commit 8032b526d1a3 ("linux.conf.au 2009: Tuz") and use it for image crop. The file size is a way bigger than the previous one (the PNG had 11K; the SVG now has 563K), but the end result looked nice, IMHO. > Sure, SVG makes sense.

Do they? Inkscape does a good job on breaking lines for a diff-friendly output. Yet, some lines violate the maximum limit for e-mails defined by IETF RFC 2821. The problem is that sending such patches to the mailing lists could make them be ignored. Not sure what would be the best way to solve such issues.
