Thank you Bruce and Thomas. Interesting to see that with the transform solution the "staircase" effect went away in Opera and Safari.
Your comments help a lot and I will add a note to my tutorial to give other people who have the same problem get an idea for a workaround. I will probably add this option to my shp2svg converter as well. Have to experiment with it a bit however. I still don't understand completely, however, in which cases this effect comes into existance. Is this a combination of a large offset in the absolute Moveto and a very small change in the relative linetos? Is the viewBox also relevant in this case, or is this solely a problem of the relative coordinates? I ask because most of the time the approach that Bruce initially tried worked well, but in rare cases I had similar problems.
