Thanks for your suggestions, Philippe and Jerry. I like the idea of copying and pasting SVG text and will implement it in my application. I think about an implementation of my tool as a web service, but this is stuff for the future. Concerning the text size: Currently I use 10px for the button text. I had never problems to read it with my 1280x1024 screen resolution. If I would increase the text size, I would get in trouble with the available space on the screen. Maybe you can hide some toolbars of your browser. That would increase the available space on screen for the content.
