I checked all 3 examples above, and this issue has been fixed by commit 7b6af0

Bug report reopened. Note that commit 7b6af0 fixes the font size problem - but not the failure to handle "\n" in example 19.

+As of commit fac174e, I looked at every page of pdf results generated by -dev pdf
+and found the following rendering issues. Some of these issues as noted below are shared with the ps device driver, but there are plenty of other device drivers that share none of these issues which implies none of these issues are due to recent plbuf changes.
+  
+x09.01, x21.01: text not clipped at viewport boundary.
+x10.01: box size incorrect.
+x10.01, x17.01: text positioning incorrect.
+x13.01, x15.0[1-3]: line patterns do not agree with other devices.
+x28.01: incorrect lengths for "revolution" strings in XY plane.

-When you zoom page 5 of example 19, you also discover (by comparison with svg results) that the "\n" in the text is being ignored.
+Issues shared with the ps device driver:
+x19.05: the "\n" in the text is being ignored.
+x23.[01]*, x24.01, x26.02: many missing unicode glyphs.
+x30.02: no native gradient
+x30.0[12], x33.*: no alpha-channel transparency
