I've experienced the over sized text rendering of GTK+ (2.12.2) on my system
too.

I've eventually managed to turn around this issue with a hack in cairo (1.4.10)

The hack is simple enough it consists in a change of the scale cairo uses to
render win32 fonts.

It's in the file: src/cairo-win32-private.h

/* AAU: hack
#define WIN32_FONT_LOGICAL_SCALE 32
*/
#define WIN32_FONT_LOGICAL_SCALE 1

Basically, cairo fonts rendered with this scale factor set to 1 are rendered
with a good size (not as smooth are they could be though).

My guess would be that there must be a flaw in the world transformation applied
to fonts but I could not identify it.
