Yes, that is what I see also (the up to half-character shifts I referred to
in my report) for my imagemagick 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2+b2 from Debian testing.
It is a big improvement over before because of the white space issues I
fixed in svg.c, but I am virtually positive the remaining much smaller text
shifting issues are due to librsvg.  The neat thing with SVG is you can
actually look at the XML code and exactly interpret the results for yourself
(at least for simple examples).  Thus, I am currently preparing a simple
example that everybody on the librsvg development team should be able to
understand which shows this remaining displacement issue for librsvg but not
for other viewers.  It might be something as simple as librsvg not counting
all the glyphs properly when they are interpreting text-anchor="end" (right
justification), but we will see.  I am going to push this bug report,
because a fix to librsvg will propagate to a number of applications.
