That should be:

p_label->scale (1.0/m11(), 1.0/m.m22() );

Don't forget the scaling in the y-direction!

I just set it to 12 pint in the c'tor of my Plot class which has the 
QGraphicsSimpleTextItem as a member.

I would try boiling it down to a simple example first with just an item that 
sets the scene coord system and a text item. Also useful is to output the 
scale factors to make sure they look sensible.
