Does it allow you to do things like: take this font at 20px, outline it with a stroke of 2px, turn that stroke into a path, then use that path as a clipping mask, then render this image using that mask.

When you specify the stroke width of 2px and then turn it into a path, are you expecting the outline of the font to expand? Is the 2px stroke centered on the original glyph path, so 1px is "in" in the glyph and 1px is "out"?
I take your question to basically mean "can it expand or shrink a path?" and "can it use a path as a clipping mask?"
Or did I misunderstand and you want to only show the image within the 2px sliver itself?
Don't worry about the specifics, I'm just asking if it can do modern 2D graphics well.
