In principle I also prefer the symbols from svg files to the hardcoded ones as 
the svg symbols have much nicer appearance. My only concern was that if 
should be possible to find symbols by (well known) names without hard coding 
file names. But I think there are possibilities to do so even without the 
current code for fixed symbols, e.g. by having the svg text of the well known 
symbols as a string in a source file.

Marco
