I don't know if default OS X physical font size depends on resolution. I
don't know whether it can be configured. I don't know how to get it
programmatically (or if it's even possible).
Easiest way is to change font sizes in darktable.gtkrc. It has already
been done for OS X before DPI fix. But the question is which sizes
(there are 2) to use? Can you guarantee they will always match system
font size? And why it's different from Linux?
