I've managed to get it to work by writing my own drawTextItem which converts 
text to paths and passing that to drawPath. Now all I need to do are custom 
line styles and bitmaps.

Now if only QSVGGenerator did clipping properly - how hard can it be? I'll 
have to write my own SVG generator at this point.
