Only if their system is misconfigured. If you use 1600x1200 on a monitor
below 17" in size, you're misusing it. For a monitor 19" in size or
bigger, 12pt fonts at 1600x1200 should look pretty much the same size as
12pt fonts at 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor, for instance. Point sizes are
relative, not absolute, and therefore if you configure X correctly and
use a reasonable resolution for your display size, a 12pt font will be
perfectly fine. I'm writing this with a 10pt font at 1600x1200 on a 19"
display and it looks great.
