Chart test failures on mac: text size differences

[Tamas Zolnai]

Hi Khaled,

I see you're working on text rendering, so I thought that my findings might be usefull for you. I had a look at chart test failures on Mac and found that it is because of text size differences. (I checked your latest change [1], but the differences are still there.)
Both text width and height is different (comparing Windows and Mac). Interestingly when I changed the font to a bundled, monospace font (e.g. Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono), width differences disappeared and only height differences remained. So there are at least two kind of issues here. One which is about the proportional fonts character width and one related to the text height.
I added a minimal test case to the source [2] with which it's easier to debug the second issue (for the first issue the test case's font need to be changed to a bundled, proportional font).
