Hi Rudolf,
Thanks for testing the branch :)

We’re thinking of adding `--exact-bbox' to the default `dvisvgm' flags, which it
seems has a good chance of resolving this. It was originally swapped for
`--bbox=preview' (when using `dvisvgm' to get dimension info), but now we do this
via the LaTeX compilation stdout, and so we can go back to `--exact-bbox'.

Hmmm, not sure what’s going on. Care to provide a MWE?

The hard part was the overhauled machinery, hooking up the new system to
ob-babel should be possible without too much hassle. It might need to wait for
another patch-set though (this one is already at ~100 commits and a few thousand
lines changed).

I tried this example on my computer, and it worked flawlessly (see
<https://0x0.st/Hq7Z.png>). If you could give me a stacktrace, that might help.
All the best,
Timothy
