And, Micheal, yes, it is a dpi issue. I was using font size in
"points" as a reference while it should be in "pixels". This should be
fixed both in the maintenance branch and in the trunk.

So, Lebostein and j, if you know how  to check out using svn, can you
give a try either the svn trunk or the maintenance branch? I'm
attaching the patch just in case.
