I would suggest a combination of both: Per default they could be scaled
with the linewidth to get best-fit allround separations. In addition,
the user could apply a scaling factor to fit the line spacing to special
'problem cases' (depending on the kind of data plotted and the shape of
the resulting curves, number of curves plotted etc.).

BTW I couldn't find a way to get slanted/italic fontshapes in SVG. Did I
overlook something?

Best wishes,
