That's your work with s/pdf/svg/g applied on it:)

You'll find attached the next iteration of my work in progress patch. It
adds support for composite_trapezoids. As composite trapezoids will not
produce acceptable SVG, I've also added an early fallback for stroke,
and the corresponding function in SVG backend.

Will work on it after basic drawing is in place.

I guess viewers should be smart enough to use a local font instead of
embeded one.

Thanks for the hint.

What is also new in this version is the use of libxml. Please tell me if
you feel this is wrong (or anything else in the patch).
