well doing it in your suggested manner implies turning 
over the rendering to ghostscript which while extremely 
nice would well, unfortunately make kword quite non wysiwig.
though how important that feature actually is, no idea.
personally i think that the kerning problems etc should 
just be sorted out in the qt ps output.
