Just to clarify: running a Freenet node doesn't infringe on laws against
possession of $whatever. There's no way to actually determine what is
contained within your node. In fact the anonymity of Freenet is
dependent on the plausible deniability stemming from this ignorance.
You can't be prosecuted because your computer *might* contain illegal
content.

The only way you could be in violation of the law is if you actually
requested something illegal from your node and downloaded it.

Can anyone assist with this?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24880356/relative-sizes-of-svg-text-and-rect

My current understanding is this might be an effect of aspect ratio (but then why no effect on the text) and/or the effect of a user coordinate system.

Though this hasn't led to a workable solution. I'm plugging this into a (tidy) tree with a requirement for a constant node size (based on d3 tree layout and quadtree)

I don't think that's the /only/ way. For example, if they could prove (or more
accurately, convince a jury) that you knew that it was being used for illegal
purposes, even if you weren't participating in those practices yourself, then
you could probably be prosecuted for "conspiracy to..." or "aiding and abetting..."
