Hmm... this will all be fixed when I get my backside into gear and
finish up the cairo printing support... until then, I'm not sure..

It might be something we can fix in the existing printing code, but it
could also just be a failing of the new cairo text rendering to match up
with the old printing code. I attempted to match on-screen rendering
before / after cairo, but never cross-checked how the printing output
used to match up.
