And here is the exact same issue shown using a web page with CSS.

So the issue is wide spread, but still I don't know why. Also does that
mean I need to apply the same font size hack as the guy in the CSS article.
eg:
ifdef MacOS
NormalFontSize = 13
elseif Windows
NormalFontSize = 8
elseif Linux
NormalFontSize = 10
else
NormalFontSize = 8 // ??? What would be correct as a default?
Label.Font.Size = NormalFontSize;
Yuck!!!! Imagine that all over your code? Is the ifdef part could be
done in some Constants.pas unit and used globally in your application,
but still it feels like a hack. Not to mention it makes GUI design a lot
more difficult if the same form is edited on various platforms.
