Tiny font workaound... maybe?

I know this goes against the current development direction of gtkextra2 but in the interest of bypassing the gnome bug that causes tiny fonts I was thinking of maybe returning to some basics. Has anyone tried to draw a string onto a canvas using the gdk (older) primitives? for example gdk_draw_string()? If anyone has some ideas on implementing this until gnome fixes their problem it will be greately appreciated. I unfortunately can't depend on gnome for the project I'm developing and it's unfortunate that Pango is affected in such a way.

Thanks!
