Those options would both be very handy.

In the meantime, thanks for the workaround!  My hack was to export to
SVG, then edit with Inkscape (first compiled Inkscape for OSX :), save
to PNG and finally convert the PNG to a PNG that Firefox can
understand, using GIMP (also compiled for OSX).  Phew!

Regarding OSX: it seems that, for the first time in months, I can now
build matplotlib on OSX with gcc 4.1 without jumping through all sorts
of crazy loops.  Thanks!
