So the PNG text size is fine, both with libart and pixbuf (pixbuf just
doesn't allow setting the overall image size).  Pango-based EPS output
is just fine (no big surprise), but the Latin-1 based one is indeed
broken, not just misaligned.  Can't really say anything about the EMF.
I'll attach your files to a bug report.
