When rendering a Pango layout to a Cairo surface, a large (but reasonable) scaling causes strange glyphs placement.

For example, in the soon-to-be attached program, the string "rc" is rendered at size 1.2 with a scaling of 72/2.54, and the r and c are rendered on top of one another. Changing the program to use a size 12 and a 7.2/2.54 scaling gives a more sensible (but still not perfect placement).

I suspect some sort of kerning done with integers instead of floats.
