Re: Issue 3778: Use bounding box as skylines for markup in svg backend (issue 582010043 by address@hidden)

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

See http://codereview.appspot.com/545970043

note:
1) Depending on the renderer, the skylines diverge from the text.
Inkscape reproduces exactly, but EOG messes up the text formatting.

2) The lack of regression testing is worrying. We could have a section
of regtests that is powered by

 inkscape --export-background-opacity=1.0  --export-background=white
--export-type="png" svg.cropped.svg

and then do imagemagick diffs on the result.
