No idea if this actually works, but (if you are using 3.5, which I think you
are), you could try adding the following to the *beginning* (beginning is the
very first line of your config, not later) of your rc.lua:
require("lgi").PangoCairo.font_map_get_default():set_resolution(196)
Please tell me if this has any effect.

P.S.: For future-Uli: Google knows about gdk_screen_get_resolution() and Debian
code search figured out that this function is used in a call to
pango_cairo_context_set_resolution() inside gtk_widget_update_pango_context().
P.P.S.: It would be nice to figure out if lgi let's us use
gdk_screen_get_resolution() and gdk_screen_get_font_options() so that they can
be used in wibox.widget.textbox. No idea how yet, but if we figure out a way to
map gdk screens to awesome screens, that could be used for implementing this
"properly". Or we just link awesome against Gdk and use this code properly and
get rid of awesome's screens, but that might result in a fight about who owns
the X11 connection...
