Many SVG tests "fail" due to changed text color dumping (after feature brach rebase)

I believe the previous dumping method was not really determinant.  Or at least it wasn't dumping what it was trying to dump.  First of all, color() is not really the normal way to change text color in SVG.  Second, it seems that sometimes that was the fill color, and sometimes the stroke.  I believe color() was previously being modified by the painting code, but is no longer.  I'm not sure why that would change with the rebase (perhaps all the tests got updated?)

I have attached one attempted fix, but it doesn't really make the situation any better or worse.  It also seems to still miss some colors that it should be dumping (I'm unsure why).

Yes, I updated all tests to not dump text colors at all in feature-branch. It's definately better than dumping invalid colors (as previously, as you said, the paint servers mutated color() when painting text - I changed that).

I haven't checked the attached patch for correctness, as I'm really busy learning atm. Next week I can comment :-)

Greetings,
Niko

How many failures are left are this change?

I suggest we just remove the "color()" call, or apply my patch, and rebase.  My patch should probably be changed to label the colors its dumping.  Such as "fillColor=" instead of "color="

How many tests still failed after this?  Lots.  A different subset of the SVG tests.

I should note, that if we're going to apply this patch, the "else if"s should just turn into ifs.  And the color dumps should possibly be re-ordered.  I'm not sure that dumping solid colors for text is very useful though (especially since this patch doesn't seem to catch all cases anyway.

Fixed in fb svn.
