Did you use the pencil tool in Inkscape to accomplish the route?
Yeah, well, as they say, the client is always right. I used the generic "calligraphy" font as a label placeholder on an early draft and they loved it and insisted it be the font for the map. At least I lovingly hand kerned many of the letter-pairs...

I used the pencil tool for the coastlines and rivers, but used the pen tool to trace the route from the re-projection, at a high zoom level, which let me honour the path's accuracy while minimizing the points.
