The place where point size is converted to pixel size isn't that far from X-specific calls. The Mozilla code follows the X core-font version which always uses pixel sizes; the UI exposes pixel sizes in the configuration UI. I did't like this, but followed along in the Mozilla patches.

Are there any implementation details in freetype of xft{1,2} that
would prevent this from working?
Yes. Xft currently passes only pixel sizes down to FreeType, and some
applications (Mozilla) don't pass down DPI or point size. When the
information was available, I could pass it down.
(As you might guess, I'm a big fan of optically scaled fonts.)
I was unaware that any foundrys were spending the time and money to build
fonts in this fashion any more. It would be nice...
