Yes. I assume the red colour comes from the text fill already processed

It should probably have a single filled character preceding the circle
since that is providing the fill colour.

Some questions which will clarify the process for me (and hopefully avoid
wasting your time):
* that the strategy of intercepting fillPath and strokePath and capturing
the graphics attributes and path is viable?
* that fillPath draws both fill and stroke in the AWT canvas (and that
strokePath does the same) so that either may be called. This doesn't seem
right
* the calls were after " beginText ...endText" - does endText clear the
stroke/fill attributes?
* are fill, stroke and (Basic)Stroke (which provides lineWidth, etc.) the
only states that need to be considered?

I will tidy the Github code, create a simpler example (I export PDF from
PPT, but could use Inkscape), and work from that.
