yes.

indeed, something is wrong.

I only have Mozilla (Konqueror doesn't work at all, as I reported earlier on),
and rendering the svg files from your website results in something that looks
quite like your plots, just using ASCII art...

Don't know what to do, but I think I'll just wait until Konqueror is supported,
since I don't want to use Mozilla anyway. I was using

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030630
Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in version 3.01x88
