More difficult than I first thought.

With 2.1 it breaks at line 569 in pdfmetrics.py , the KeyError 
exception is re-raised (font really not found), and it works like a 
charm in 2.2 

in 2.2 faceName is always a string of text (the font name), while
in 2.1 it breaks when faceName is a pycanvas.Action instance
but I don't know why it is such an instance.

(all this seen with a print)

Any idea ?

PS: of course the += thing is trivial, but these are two different
    problems.
