You know what I just did? I downloaded the 0.91 branch I've just created and ran an FO file with a referenced SVG file through FOP that contains a mixture of "simple" and "non-simple" text. Guess what: "simple" text was painted as text, not shapes. Maybe it's only the PDFTranscoder that has a problem. I have yet to check that one.
