Bug 287659: graphics/qt6-svg: upstream fix for incorrect text rendering
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287659



--- Description ---
When using the port cad/FreeCAD, the TechDraw workbench incorrectly renders SVG
text with huge strokes.   This has been diagnosed as a bug in qt6-svg in the
FreeCAD issue tracker: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/18881

The fix was put in place by the Qt development team and cherry-picked to the
6.8, 6.9, and 6.10 release branches on 3 June
(https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-123817), the same day that 6.9.1 was
released.  Thus, the fix won't show up in a released version until the next qt6
release.

The patch is one line and will be rendered obsolete once the next qt6 release
comes out and the qt6-svg port gets updated.  In the meantime, applying the
attached patch fixes the issue.  I will attach examples of before and after
rendering from FreeCAD shortly.
