= About Hardcoding a fixed DPI =

<rant>
Until I find the time to write in more about DPI and fonts sizes. Look at this:

Monitor here range from 75 dpi to 144 dpi. That's ~ factor of two. With ""identical fonts size"" setting, the
size of the same 'H' displayed on screen will be:

{{{
   
  |_|
  | | <-- 144 dpi monitor


  | |
  |__|
  | | <-- 75 dpi monitor
  | |

                              
}}}

A sensible new default, isn't it.
</rant>
