I've always wondered why sometimes the fonts in emails from friends would seem so tiny. So I was interested in this comment. Then I started to think about it and got really confused :-). I'd have thought more DPI would make something smaller, not larger. F'rinstance, when I changed from a PB to my iBook, everything on the screen looks smaller. I thought that was because the iBook has "better" resolution, as in more DPI. So why would a font at 96 DPI look larger than one at 72 DPI. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, just not sure what it is.
