Text canvas item
A canvas item for displaying text. See <gnome-canvas-rich-text> for a
more advanced text display and editing canvas item. NB: The
<gnome-canvas-text> item doesn't scale with the zoom property of the
<gnome-canvas>. A zoomable implementation could derive from
<gnome-canvas-text> and check the zoom property for manual adjustments to
the font size.
