AFAIK other widgetsets have fractionals too and you don't need a
parameter.
For normal text rendering fractional should be enabled for the simple
reason that some fonts look badly without.
But TCanvas only supports pixel positioning of text, so you can not
start drawing in the middle of a word.
Solutions:
- either implement scale factors for TCanvas
- or add TextOut/TextExtent/... functions with floats to TCanvas.
Right?
