That's interesting as Postscript itself is a rather broken version of
Forth.  Do you mean with SVG calls you can do all the usual Postscript
stuff including text rendering?

I just wrote some Postscript code recently and hit some ridiculous snags
due to dumb stuff in the language.  They were fixable but "traps for the
unwary" as it were.
