           Summary: SVG Font Rendering Problems while rendering Text on a
                    Path in Chrome and Safari
           Product: WebKit

I try to render some text along a bezier curve path in SVG:

        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
            <path id='menu_path' d="M 80,40 Q 200,85 245,205" stroke="none" fill="none"/>
            <text fill="white">
                <textPath xlink:href="#menu_path">News Info Presse Musik</textPath>
            </text>             
        </svg>  

In Chrome (23.0.1271.97 m) and Safari (5.1.7 (7534.57.2)), the text looks ugly (look at "Musik"). Even when I use monospace fonts and set the text to uppercase it does not change.

Here the Screenshots and a fiddle:
