You shouldn't do that.  You should measure it at a nominal size, scale, and
draw to the target.  If you do that, you still find that your text doesn't
quite fit in.  That's because (unfortunately) cairo doesn't do fully linearly
scalable text yet :(.  What I suggest you do is to get the path for the text
at the nominal size, scale, append path, fill.

Hope that helps,
