It doesn't do text. It doesn't print. We also want an SVG rendering backend for GNOME-print because want to make SVG representations of our documents (think print to ps or PDF) so they can be easily be embedded and combined other apps whether GNOME-office apps ie (AbiWord in Gnumeric or Gnumeric in AbiWord) or other apps like scribus, inkscape or on the WWW. Embedding via SVG representation is the easiest way to achieve XP integration. A lot of the technology in inkscape would be useful to our cause. Cairo is another possibility although it's not XP.
I would recommend Cairo in this case. There's a librsvg fork build on top of it that I think would be much closer to what you need.
Actually our ultimate plan is to abandon our current rendering backend (libnr) in favor of Cairo anyway. This will require a GDI/GDI+ Cairo backend for Windows first, though.
