text in markers not exported as PDF

[Aidan Delaney]

A text character such as "➊" (Unicode character U+278A) may be a child of a document layer. As a text node child of, say, layer1 it will correctly be exported to a PDF file (I believe it's exported as a path). However a text character which is a child of marker, for example in the XML snippet below, is not correctly exported to either PDF or EPS.

All the stock markers are definied as paths, so this only arises in the case of custom markers.

Example marker snippet:
 <marker
       orient="auto"
       refY="0"
       refX="0"
       id="CircleOne"
       inkscape:stockid="CircleOne"
       style="overflow:visible">
      <circle
         cx="0"
         cy="0"
         r="4"
         fill="white"
         id="circle40" />
      <text
         transform="translate(-4.5, 4.5)"
         id="text40">➊</text>
    </marker>

confirmed with the new cairo exporter too
