I complained about this a few months ago within the context of a 
with-output-to-postscript-stream and using format-graph-from-root,
but the clim gods had no mercy. I think the placement of regular 
text fonts ought to transform even if the font itself does not, but
at the time I was complaining about I didn't hear anybody else's
support so I just gave up pursuing the issue.
