Unfortunately this is what I'd expect. PDF doesn't have the concept of a
newline character, and the current font doesn't contain one either.
We're currently in the planning by stage of introducing a new high-level text
layout API, but it's some way off.
In the meantime, it seems like setText could be made to handle newlines with
only minor changes - Maruan will likely have more to say here.
