Err... yeah, just read through what I wrote... even I can't make sense 
of what I wrote!

The simplest process is creating my own custom Image instance, with 
default background of all alpha. With this, I then use GraphicsUtil to 
create a Graphics2D instance, as recommended. From this, I then call 
GraphicsNode.paint() on a root instance of the document. No 
RenderingHints are set. Visual artifacts are the background colour is 
being reset (I'd like just to create a straight text string printed on 
an image) there's aliasing effects around the edge of the text. I think 
some of that is to do with the way I'm creating the image, but I'm not 
really sure yet.

In this simplest of tests I'm trying to implement an X3D Text node which 
is described as a "Flat two-sided item". We don't need to create 
polygons, so as the first step is just a simple text string on a 
transparent image to run as a texture. Admittedly it would be far easier 
to not use SVG altogether, but this was supposed to be the first step in 
a much larger process for the integration. It's the "get to know you" step.
