Summary: font sizing problems

Initial Comment:
There is a problem with font sizing in 8.5b3. When I draw a label, the size of the font is clearly 9. But when querying the size, 12 is reported:

% pack [label .k -text Koen]
% .l cget -font
TkDefaultFont
% font actual TkDefaultFont
-family {Luxi Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0

Some further tests reveal that specifying a negative size (in points) does not work anymore:

% font actual {{luxi sans} -12}
-family {Luxi Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0
%  font actual {{luxi sans} -8}
-family {Luxi Sans} -size 12 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0

Note: this problem also causes a number of failures in the testsuite, already reported in #1800192.

System is RedHat EL 4: Linux 2.6.9-5.ELsmp
