Hi Andy,

I looked into this last week while filing bug reports about the SVG Font 
support in various libraries/applications. (It is quite disappointing that 
most SVG rendering libraries process SVG fonts by treating the glyphs as if 
they were just regular paths --- but I digress.)

My conclusion was that it should be possible by using FreeType's outline 
processing functions. See 
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-
outline_processing.htm

Polemically yours, Freddie.
