I presume this question has been asked before, but I can't find the appropriate 
terms to 
make Google spit out anything helpful. I would be grateful for any pointers 
that could be 
provided.

I generate PNG icons from SVG in Cocoon using Cocoon's SVG2PNG serializer. 
Hitherto I 
have had fixed-sized icons, so it was relatively easy to work from templates of 
known size, 
replacing the text on the fly.

However, I now need to create icons of varying size, depending on the length of 
the text 
that they contain. As I understand it, <text> and <tspan> are used to render 
text in any 
supported format. What I don't understand is how to make the height and width 
of the 
document (viewport?) containing the text the same as the text itself.

I use XSLT to modify my templates. What I would like to be able to do is 
something like the 
following:

1) replace the text in the template with the text I want;
2) check how high and wide the rendered version of the text is;
3) set the document height and width according to the values in 3;
4) position the text at (0,0);
5) convert to PNG.
