After further reading of SVG specification, I think the better way is
to specify an arbitrary font size in pt as style of SVG root element,
then simply add "em" to the font-size properties.

This will fix "round" problem, and allow user to change globally the
font sizes in an easy way (the factor "font size: xxxpt" in svg root
element style).

I hope it will also allow us to raise a dialog box which will allow us to
specify the global font size (note I currently have no capabilty on
that, as I'm a complete beginner in C).

It seems, for that purpose, I need to change both plug-in and
DiaSvgRenderer.

Do you agree on that?
