OK. Please note that this is handwritten SVG and using an editor may  
cause it to lose structure.

Also, the rendering depends on the exact metrics of the Futura font  
(and, for all I know, the details of the SVG renderer); it would be  
more robust to embed the characters as paths into the SVG but I don't  
have tools handy to do that. I expect Inkscape does, though; if you do  
that and send me the results I'll incorporate them.

Good point. I suggest, however, that you make sure to be consistent  
about "Tahoe-LAFS" vs. "TahoeLAFS". Both forms will work fine as a  
Google search term, but the former has more results, and also has the  
advantage that searchers for "Tahoe LAFS" will find it.
