Good to hear that this will happen sometime.
Also the ability to customize fonts will be most welcome.
The edges of the graphics, eg. the sides of the boxes, tends to step
unevenly as the image is zoomed in and out.
Perhaps this could be addressed sometime.
One useful graphical feature would be to have an invisible coarse
snapping grid for all the boxes, so that they could easily be aligned
manually as they are created, rather than aligning them after they
have been placed with the current pixel accuracy.
