JavaScript is currently needed to call the getBBox() DOM function for all nodes.
We would like to have a server side getBBox function, so all graphics can be only SVG+CSS (from Python)

One solution is to use local OpenType fonts and have some processor parsing the otf file (xml equivalent if simpler)
and return the boundingbox.

This need to understand well the OpenType specification.

We can use temporary an approximation algorithm.
