Description:
------------
The printElement() method of the XML_SVG_Textpath wraps $this->_text in htmlentities(), but it should use htmlspecialchars(). (Named character entities like é don't exist in XML by default.)

Test script:
---------------
patch for the SVG.php file:

echo '<' . $element;
$this->printParams('id', 'x', 'y', 'dx', 'dy', 'rotate',
'textLength', 'lengthAdjust', 'style', 'transform');
- echo '>' . htmlentities($this->_text);
+ echo '>' . htmlspecialchars($this->_text);
parent::printElement();
echo "</$element>\n";
}

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect to see accented letters as actual characters instead of named character entities in <text> elements.

Actual result:
--------------
Named character entities in <text> elements.
