Do you have references on how does Qt handle svg -> opengl? Does it
rasterize the svg image prior to rendering it in the opengl scene or does it
somehow actually draw the svg path? The latter would be interesting (even
though, again, its is not text anymore) and would probably work with gl2ps,
while the former will probably produce poor quality rasterized text.
