I used Inkscape to produce some test-files and everything seemed to work fine. One thing to do, is convert text to paths in Inkscape before saving.
Surely not an issue-free solution, but perhaps a starting point for something more advanced. One noticeable thing is that drawing the line segments is a bit stuttery, not sure how to improve this.

Cheers,
Ossi

The same stuff after some modifications:

Allow targeting set width of the image.
Allow lifting up the pen between paths, if such a pen is used.
