<div><font>Hi,<br></font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font>I think text output in SVG is essential. Labels are one of the things that can always be improved in post-processing. But if labels are only available as paths, all of them have to be redone to maintain consistency ... awful amount of work.<br>

</div>I haven't tried that but I expect that it will not look good because<br>
the rendering algorithms are different.<br>
<br>
I will be probably moving new labeling to use directly text drawing in<br>
future since path drawing is several times slower...<br>
