==Font Support==

Timeline has somewhat limited unicode support. It uses FreeSans.ttf font, which supports a subset of all the possible glyphs (it supports cyryllic alphabet, east-europe diactrics and kana for instance, but lacks kanji). No other fonts are available at this time.

No unicode is allowed yet. No font type can be specified yet.

Five font tags are predefined which will render at slightly different sizes in PNG and SVG images to produce optimal readability for both platforms.

ImageSize = width:180 height:90

PlotArea = width:180 height:90 left:0 bottom:0

TimeAxis = orientation:vertical #dummy

Colors =

id:gray value:gray(0.95)
