I'm guessing that what you are doing to draw text is to take the outline of
each glyph from the font and add it to a compound CG path that is your internal
representation of the SVG. Since each text or tspan element is an atomic unit
(if there's no :first-letter style), can you not just wait until it's time to
rasterise, then ask ATSUI to draw the text for you? That way you get everything
done properly (kerning, right-to-left, indic rearrangement, ligature
substitution &c.)
