Bug Description

In pcbnew, any text on copper layers seems to be completely ignored by the DRC mechanism.

How to reproduce: Open an existing PCB, select top/bottom copper layer, add some (large-sized) text that overlaps and shorts pads and tracks, run DRC -> no errors reported

KiCAD versions: KiCad_stable-2013.07.07-BZR4022_Win, 0.201307101323+4241~17~precise1
