0.88 doesn't allow setting the fonts for a Class object.  Additionally, it
will sometimes make the text go outside the box.  In 0.90, we made a tweak,
so that at least the text stays inside the box, even if there is some extra
space.  CVS head shouldn't segfault when exporting, we'd like to hear some
details on that.
