One of the problems is that DF uses its own font. It's difficult to mimic the DF interface exactly with other fonts. I'm getting frustrated enough that I've actually considered cutting up curses_800x600.png into 256 different little images with transparent backgrounds and using them to build these diagrams. Won't work, of course, but short of making a custom font directly from the default DF font image, and somehow making the browser download it automatically, I don't see what I can do.
