PixelsperInch property on the each form. I gave up in horror in the crudeness of this and I cant be bothered. I tell users to change to small fonts and then go and change the desktop scheme to suit.

Background: I have some forms I resize according to users screen resolution, and also settable options which font sizes are to be used in grids, and also default row height. Both specified in points. Behaves nicely on most screens -Except- Where screen has been set to use large fonts, eg 120DPI, eg Windows 98 with a large resolution LCD screen. The fonts I have set in the grid then become enormous, nothing like 8 pt which is the default and unreadable. So how do I detect the DPI setting, what does it mean for my app, and how do I adjust the font size.....I am able to do that, but unsure what to adjust. Any advice or web sites?
