Hmm, debugging a little in impress I think there might be a separate problem
with VclProcessor2D::RenderTextSimpleOrDecoratedPortionPrimitive2D and the text
positioning scaling done there before it even gets to the usual text rendering
stuff so things are probably already gone wrong before it even gets as far as
the underlying stuff touched under this bug. I think we need a new separate
impress bug, my thinking is that we should pass the dx positions to vcl
untouched and instead set up vcl to scale them rather than scale them in
advance in drawinglayer, which would at least give vcl a chance to do something
nice.
