The text alignment flags aren't handled consistently across GL2PS
backends (e.g. PDF has no concept of alignment), so exporting the text
as a series of Bezier curves will ensure that the resulting export is
consistent, regardless of format and/or viewer.
This fixes #503. Note that I had to fix an issue with VTK for this to handle the custom fonts properly -- make sure CDAT/VTK@9760973 is in your VTK tree when testing (VTK/uvcdat-master has already been updated).
