D'oh ! you're totally right (especially since Dia font units are not points,
which Pango assumes). But we can add back the "real height" parameter, have
dia_font_new concatenate an arbitrary ("12") size to the stringified PFD,
and then set the real size (which we should keep as a "real" in one of the
fields of the DiaFont).

Now, for the scaling thing.... I think I've got an idea (which should map
well with the "current" dia_font() API), and objects have nothing to do with
that. I need to give it more thought to be able to write about that.
