gtk_print_operation_set_unit and Pango sub/supscripts

[Ivan Baldo <ibaldo gmail com>]

Who is brave enough to enlighten me? :-)

Thanks a lot!!!

/*
    I prefer to treat the distances in the page in millimeters, so I call
gtk_print_operation_set_unit (po, GTK_UNIT_MM), but then the <sup> and <sub> tags of Pango markup
look ugly; commenting that function call fixes the problem but then I don't have distances in
millimeters.
    I guess I could put a transformation in my Cairo context as a workaround but I would like to
know what I am doing wrong or what I am missing :-/.

P.s.: also see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519146

    Compile with:
gcc pango_problem.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` -o pango_problem
