Well, it tried but the rendering was faulty. I have some text
along a curve that Konqueror shows at the top of the page almost
entirely cut off and of course not on the curve. And some labels
in boxes were misaligned.

If you go to the url listed below and try it in Firefox followed
by Konqueror (or vice versa) you will see quite different renderings.
