Re: Downsampling bitmaps from RSVG quality

Thanks.. that makes sense. It's too bad such an important issue is not more
"correctly" approachable, e.g. setting a filter option on rsvg or changing
the way cairo works to composite images. I appreciate your suggestion of
rendering to a higher resolution canvas.
