SVGTextElement.getSubStringLength returns wrong result (affects Acid3)

Now that the SVGDocument mimetype issue has been fixed, we fail Test 78 in a new way:

Test 78: expected: 42, got: 65 - getSubStringLength #1 failed.

    function () {
      // test 78: external SVG fonts, from Erik Dahlstrom
      //
      // SVGFonts are described here[3], and the relevant DOM methods
      // used in the test are defined here[4].
      //
      // Note that in order to be more predictable the svg should be
      // visible, so that clause "For non-rendering environments, the
      // user agent shall make reasonable assumptions about glyph
      // metrics." doesn't influence the results. We use 'opacity:0'
      // to hide the SVG, but arguably it's still a "rendering
      // environment".
      //
      // The font-size 4000 was chosen because that matches the
      // unitsPerEm value in the svgfont, which makes it easy to check
      // the glyph advances since they will then be exactly what was
      // specified in the svgfont.
