That's actually probably a good idea.  The original outlines for most of 
the fonts were rasterized at both 75 and 100 dpi which results in quite a 
few duplicate pixel sizes.  Merging those into one file will let us ship 
only the unique sizes and let Juliusz's magic FreeType2 library convert 
from point/dpi to pixel sizes.  The font listing code can advertise 
whatever DPI it likes.
