what renderer are you using?

I think this is another hint we should get a rendering system that 
produces identical results over all involved platforms.

One thing is that fonts should be part of T at H. This could be done by 
using SVG-fonts.
But that would also mean switching to batik as renderer. Inkscape does 
not support SVG fonts.

For Batik it looks quite simple. Have a look at the list archive, I did 
some SVG-Font tests a while ago.

What is the thing about Batik having a known bug with some font rendering?
