I'm having some trouble here. Even feeding floats into the CG font system doesn't make font measuring scale smoothly.

Asking the font system for a font size of 8 works fine, but a font size of 9-12 (pixels) all appear identical. Changing the WebKit font system to request fonts by float doesn't make a difference.

Finally, because I can't tell the *actual* font size being returned, I can't adjust the graphics context to compensate by the proper amount and scale the glyphs.

This was all done on OSX. Anyone out there who knows CGFonts well that can help? I know entering glyph-scaling land isn't ideal, but certainly this behavior in SVG particularly is very bad.
