Of course it would be a lot easier with CAIRO or other vector-based engines 
http://cairographics.org/ . But of course that is not possible (at least until 
somewhere in the future Denemo is devided into Frontend and Backend).

I think the Denemo-staffs are already big enough, but what about just scaling 
down? This should be possible with pixels, too, and without getting too ugly.
