correct. as is just font scaling... but we should use the general matrix - font
size changing does not lead to proper scaling. i.e.

font size 10
font size 20

the 20 size is NOT necessarily 2x the size in width/height for any string than
the 10. in fact most of the time it is not. if you can just do a proper "take
size X but then scale it" then you can do that, but evas doesnt have that
support... but ... if you have generic transforms... i see no reason why not to
use it - the problem is, it blows away the font glyph cache because now u also
need to cache by glyph id as well as transform matrix.
