Honestly, my needs are absolutely not so big at all concerning the quality
of the TIFF. Actually I just plain text I want to visualise, on
white/transparent background with black text. So as long as the text
can be seen, I wil be satisfied :=)

Huh, isn't there any easier way to achieve this than the two suggestions
you are giving :=) ? Otherwise, I am afraid I will mailbomb this/other
forum for a while...

As I mentioned, I just need to be able to see the text. In the "worst" case
maybe other colors can be used to than black/white if it makes a solution
easier.

Regards
/Gergely

   Actually you are seeing opaque black text on a transparent black
background :)  You either need to insert an opaque white rectangle
into the SVG source (before everything else).  Use software that
understands alpha channels, or write code to 'flatten the image'
(* this is non-trivial).

   This would be one of the bells and whistles not supported by the
tiled transcoder.

    This is the size of the image in pixels.  So you are generating
a 100x100 pixel image with 4 channels of 8 bits (1byte) each:

        100*100*4*1 = 40,000 bytes uncompressed I could easily
believe 14,000 bytes compressed.  Although 100x100 may not be close
to big enough for your needs.
