Higher resolutions don't always mean smaller fonts.
Depending on the conditions I sometimes have trouble reading "standard" fonts and I increase the font size. In this case (and I imagine moreso for some partially-sight-impaired people) increased resolution has nothing to do with smaller fonts but is all about reading what is already on the page.
There there is the Large Fonts setting on Windows that simply provides better definition of the text for sacrifice of resolution.
So, I come back to my original point that designing for any fixed resolution is generally not a good idea.

At that point I think we may find that we may get a nifty minority
report style shift away from the conventional computer screen... but
hey.. who knows.
Just some thoughts.
But hey - it'll be nice when everyone can afford a 30" wide screen LCD
and THEN things will get interesting :o)
