Need to check the code to further comment on, but not today ;)

just change the DIA_SVG_RENDERER cast to:

(strcmp (G_OBJECT_CLASS_NAME (G_OBJECT_GET_CLASS (renderer)), 
"SvgRenderer") == 0)

Not pretty, but should work.

I prefer only the number, basically for space considerations.

Inside, aligned to a corner looks reasonable to me. Here it would certainly 
help if text rotating would be supported natively.

Kind of depends on the answers above, if inside it should at least fit the 
box. With my playing the default fixed size was enough for just the number.

I hope I'll find more time at the weekend to check in more detail.
