Bug Description
This is a spin-off from bug #759154 comment 35.
https:/
I have been testing my schematic.svg sample originally posted in bug #1580042
<https:/
using the bleeding-edge Inkscape 0.92pre2 (and most recently,
Inkscape 0.92pre3).
While I found that the original problem of Cairo PDF export (bug #759154)
is fixed, there is a new issue on the bottom-left text. This text's
line height was originally set to 1.25 times of normal; which looked
reasonably good.
But when the file is viewed under the bleeding-edge Inkscape 0.92pre2 or
Inkscape 0.92pre3, said text seems to be rendered as if the line spacing
was set to ~2 times (or around 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.25 times) of normal,
which is incorrect.
Raster renderings of the diagram are attached as follows:

This problem does not exist in stable Inkscape 0.91 or older
Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819, thus could be considered recent regression.
Note: The original diagram is drawn using Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819.
Inkscape: 0.92pre3 r15195 (binary 7-Zip release)
Inkscape: 0.92pre2 r15127 (binary 7-Zip release)
Inkscape: 0.91 r13725 (portable)
Inkscape: 0.48.2 r9819
Apache Batik: 1.8
System: Microsoft Windows XP SP3
confirmed on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92pre3 15195
attached is a comparison of the Inkscape display with IE11, where I have attempted to make the vertical scaling roughly the same in both cases. The line spacing is different.
