  Oh, I completely missed this 'separate font transformation matrix'
thing.

  OTOH, a separate transformation matrix for fonts sounds a bit like
excessive complexity.  You should be able to transform fonts anyway you
like with the operations: Translate(-x, -y) + <insert font
transformation here> + Translate(x, y).

  But most likely I'm missing something, again..

  Thanks.
