Qt::QPainter and Qt::QPrinter create pdf export of text AOK.

Thanks to Uwe's suggestions (and his patience) I am now using Qt 4.3.4 
and a freshly recompiled qwt-5.0.2 in Kubuntu:

A QPainter/QPrinter version of the hello world label demo works fine, 
both on the screen and in the pdf. I'll spare the details. Not a qt problem.

Can anyone get the bode example to work (with valid pdf output) when

   d_mrk1->setLineStyle(QwtPlotMarker::VLine);

is changed to

   d_mrk1->setLineStyle(QwtPlotMarker::NoLine);

??

If you *can't* get it to work, then that says something, and I'm not as 
alone as I think I am.

My next steps: painting on QwtPlots directly. QPainter::begin() keeps 
reminding me that "Widget painting can only begin as a result of a 
paintEvent" so to get this to work I'll have to extend QwtPlot:

class MyPaintablePlot : public QwtPlot {
   MyPaintablePlot : QwtPlot (){}
   void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *ev){
	etc.
   }
};

This will allow me to use the same paint methods, e.g., 
QPainter::drawText(QRect r, QString label), that actually work.

On the other hand, since this doesn't exist already, there is probably a 
good reason for it. Comments? Advice?
