Um, you seem to have missed the POINT about how to set font sizes, pun

pretend, on one screen they'd look like flea poo, on another they'd be
quite big. Setting font sizes using pixels as the reference point is
an
incredibly DUMB way to do it, made even more worse by not actually
using
the pixel as the size (it's scaled, yet still calling itself pixel
size). You can see that nasty effect when you do calibrate a system
properly, putting the *real* DPI into your configuration (that's the
dots per inch that's available to draw with, not something else).

I agree, but I suspect the real culprit is the X image model, which
deals with pixel-level coordinates for describing screen positions and
sizes. A resolution-independant model would avoid this, but it's
probably too late ...
