Summary: Patch for postscipt font size bug 

Initial Comment:
See http://wiki.tcl.tk/8483 and the bugs 694528 and 502026. 
 
When generating postscript from canvas, the generated 
font sizes are too small (72/Screen-DPI). Because 
of existing programs i would use a switch (-scalefonts true) 
for the postscript command to switch over to the other 
behaviour. 
OS-Plattform: All 
test script: 
-------------------------------- 
pack [canvas .c -width 211m -height 297m] 
.c create text 1i 1i -text "courier new 24 bold" -anchor sw -font 
{{courier new} 
update idletasks 
.c postscript -file xx.ps 
-------------------------------- 
Position of the text is ok/Size of Font ist to small. 
(on all Displays with Resolution!=72dpi) 
 
wish: 
-------------------------------------- 
.... 
.c postscript -file xx.ps -scalefonts true 
... 
---------------------------------------

If we fix this in 8.5, why would you want to make this a
switch?  Shouldn't it just be corrected and the programs
would have to know that 8.5 "just works"?  Even for 8.4.9
... you could check patchlevel.  It seems excessive to add a
switch for support of a bug work-around.
