pango cairo does that fine, even with hinted glyphs and hinted metrics.
Glyph spacing is not always nice, but at least text extents is
proportional to the scale factor.

I don't know how exactly behaves cairo text rendering, but you may try:

 cairo_font_options_set_hint_style (cr, CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_NONE);
 cairo_font_options_set_hint_metrics (cr, CAIRO_HINT_METRICS_OFF);
