Thanks.  I tried the above, and it didn't work, at least with (old)
librsvg 2.40.1 I have here.  Moreover, if I use a plain ASCII string,
which does display, the font used for display is identical whether or
not I specify font-family in the :css attribute, so I think somehow
this attribute doesn't have any effect.

Is it possible to specify a font rather than font-family?  Font
families are treated poorly on MS-Windows, so I'd prefer to specify a
particular font, to be sure.
