Even if I can assume the parent file format is powerpoint, I still need data 
from it, like the color scheme and texts. This data is stored in the PPT file 
outside the MSOD chunk, which means that normally it's not passed to the MSOD 
filter. How should I pass it? There's also an option of returning data back 
from the MSOD filter to the PPT filter (data like locations of text boxes), 
and letting the PPT filter do the main work. In any case something needs to 
be done. Or have I misunderstood you? Please forgive me if I'm confusing 
things - I'm a beginner.

I've tried opening a SVG file that contains some text (generated by Inkscape) 
with Karbon and it appeared blank. I guess this means there's no text support 
yet? Does this mean I should start working on text support for SVG->Karbon?
