For scalable fonts, we are using the desired size to pass the pixel size value in the long XLFD font name, but we are not checking the actual size of the returned font (max ascent + max descent) to make that equal to the desired size.

We are not using the (max ascent + max descent) any more, since I found out that that was incorrect. So, the current scaling code is OK, since it passes the desired size to X as the PIXEL_SIZE field. Marking this bug INVALID.
