Ah, yes, I made a typo in the color. I was doing this on a remote machine (winboard.nl, a rented VPS) using ssh, so I couldn't see what I was doing. I can render the white pieces with w=#FFFFFF, no problem. I don't know how the raw SVG got to have #F9F9F9, but as long as they all use the same, it doesn't matter what they use. I didn't think it strange that it wasn't exactly white; the XBoard pieces use #FFFFCC, for instance, to give them a more ivory look.

I will include any compounds you request in the script for automatic rendering of the sets. But note that when you need an occasional new compound of existing pieces (i.e. for which the SVG is already on winboard.nl), you can easily get them yourself: just use an URL like

(or any other color you want) to make your browser display the compound:

and then save the image with the name you want.

You can also use the < _ > symbols for creating rotated pieces:
