 The following patch adds scaling of label buffers and offsets for
 printing. Additionally, the font is requested in a larger size and the
 painter is downscaled to have a better font appearance when printing (to
 avoid the so-called Qt font scale bug). Finally, the buffer size is
 considered in the label size calculation.

 Martin, could you review this patch (just to avoid I'm breaking something
 in the new labeling engine)? But no hurry, I know you are very busy these
 days.

 Marco
