      Problem is that the current implementation appears to handle
      transforms on text incorrectly. In order to work with something a
      bit more tractable, I'm considering using paths when the transform
      != identity. 2 questions arise:<br>
      <br>
      1. Is this a good idea?<br>
      2. This is clearly platform specific. The code in
      agg_font_win32_tt creates paths from TT glyphs. Can these paths be
      re-used directly? They appear to be VertexSources.<br>
