Bug#577844: rsvg doesn't render text on a path.

[Daniel Burrows]

Package: librsvg2-bin
Version: 2.26.2-1
Severity: normal

  I have an SVG that I'd like to render to a PNG using rsvg.  It was
created with Inkscape and renders fine there, but some of the text was
flowed along paths, and in rsvg that text disappears.  Changing the
text to a path produces a file rsvg can interpret, but isn't really
acceptable since I want to be able to edit the text as text without
having to resort to storing two copies of the image.

  Examples attached.
