Yeah, the bounding box of text depends on the font. There's not much to do here except make a note of it in the documentation.

I guess there are quite a few subtleties with this function, such as line width not being taken into account etc..

Computing correct bounding boxes for all of SVG, including masks and filter effects, would be a mighty burden. If you need accurate bounding boxes, you can always raster the SVG fragment and look at the pixels. There are nice helper functions for this.

I've updated the docs to say that bounding boxes are best-effort.
