 It'd look lovely in color, but do not over do it. E.g., draw the
 glyph in black, the axes in red, and the dimensions in blue.

Nice idea!  But please not too colourful :-) I very much prefer pale
colours and shades of gray to get a `serious' look.

BTW, can you please give an URL for the source files of the two
images?  I would like to reduce the margins.  And how do you create
the PDFs?  What about creating SVG images additionally?  Today I think
it's OK to directly embed SVGs into a web page, and the conversion
from PDF to SVG is not optimal; at least not with inkscape.

If you want a good PDF to SVG converter, try pdf2svg (a small tool using
Poppler and Cairo, but handles text much better than Inkscape):
