[cairo] PDF: Font size is rounded

[Adrian Johnson]

I found a problem with my previous patch when testing. I have rewritten
the patch, created a test case, and tested it with the test suite. The
attached patch is the fix I will push out if there are no objections.

A branch including the test case and ref images is at:
