I have multiple issues, but all center around preserving the aspect ratio when I convert an asciicast file to an .svg.
I have been experimenting with the flags but I'm not sure what solves this problem.
I use gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 16.04. I would like to get output where the width : height ratio is 16 : 9. I've found that the closest cols/rows setting to this is 94 cols and 28 rows given the default font and font-size in gnome-terminal, so accordingly I add --width=94 and --height=28 to the command.
Unfortunately, the .svg output is rendered with a different aspect ratio.
Here's gnome-terminal running asciinema play htop:
And then the .svg output as displayed by chromium-browser:
It's probably hard to perceive at first glance, but the .svg output slightly taller and therefore has a different aspect ratio. Also, the characters on the right hand side are slightly cut off, but that probably also happens because of the different ratio.
As I understand, the terminal profile I specify is ignored by svg-term, or I am not specifying it correctly.
As of Ubuntu 16.04 the terminal profile is part of dconf, ie. it's not a stand-alone file somewhere in the home directory of the user, but part of a database and can be exported. Here's the file (profile4svgterm.dconf) I get after exporting from dconf.
I am not sure svg-term understands this file and would like to know what format works the best.
Another, unrelated issue I have noticed that sometimes the .svg output is a file with 0 bytes and therefore the command has to be repeated to get a non-empty output.
UPDATE: After doing some troubleshooting, I've found that If I specify a non existing file for --profile, svg-term does not complain about the invalid path/file.

I suspect the issues you see might at least partially be caused by svg-term (via. term-schemes) not parsing your --profile correctly.
The expected behavior would be for svg-term-cli to fail loudly (being unable to parse dconf files as the xml expected for --term=terminal), which is not what happens for you if I understand correctly? (Something with the terminal format detection appears to be off...)
svg-term-cli expects you to provide a --terminal flag that indicates the profile format to parse:
