Is there a way to configure sphinx's graphviz extension so it renders
in SVG rather than PNG? The PNG renderer does an awful job with text,
it depeditates (look it up) the letters.

I've modified sphinx.ext.graphviz to support SVG. It's explained on
this blog post: http://henriquebastos.net/2009/11/30/adding-svg-support-to-sphinxs-graphviz-extension/

hey, that seems to work nicely. Thanks!
A few comments; some of the blog post isn't very clear

It's not quite clear what this means. I can think of two options. (1)
creating an _ext subdirectory on the individual documentation project.
This would work but doesn't seem to make much sense... why would I do
this for each documentation project I have? (2) creating an _ext
subdirectory on the sphinx install directory -- which on my computer
is C:\appl\python\2.6.2\Lib\site-packages\Sphinx-0.6.3-py2.6.egg\sphinx
\ -- this didn't work, I just took the graphviz_svg.py file and put it
in the ext directory there.

"Edit your config.py": I figured out you mean the "conf.py" file in
the same directory as my .rst source file.
This didn't work either, I did this instead, after putting
graphviz_svg.py into the sphinx install ext directory
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.graphviz_svg']
Also if there are other extensions they need to be included as usual,
so I replaced
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.todo', 'sphinx.ext.pngmath',
'sphinx.ext.graphviz']
with
extensions = ['sphinx.ext.todo',
'sphinx.ext.pngmath','sphinx.ext.graphviz_svg']
and it works fine on Firefox / Safari / Opera on Windows. (IE just
loses. :p )

sphinx admins: could you perhaps review Henrique's solution and fold

it into the sphinx.ext.graphviz extension? Give us end users the
choice between PNG and SVG!
