Comment 23 for bug 172133

SVG text decorations are fully implemented (I believe) in branch lp988601. It is most likely hopeless broken on T->B languages, I'm not even sure what "underline" means in that context. While working on that several other problems were encountered and cleaned up, for instance making text decorations and spacing work in a R->L language. All of that testing was done with Hebrew, hopefully the changes will also work for Arabic and the others.

See also bugs #1169348, #1180785, and #1181362.

Yes, lp988601 needs to be merged back into trunk.
