However to avoid polluting the code too much I make almost universal use

But currently my Windows and Linux use the same 96 dpi setting, yet the
8 pt font under Windows is the same size as a 10 pt font under Linux. So
the dpi value doesn't seem to be the only culprit. I'm using Arial on
both platforms as my default font in my applications.
I've the opposite experience with apps in general if I compare fonts
between windows and linux. On my linux, using the same dpi, the same
fonts look bigger and fatter than on my windows.
Event when I run a xserver on windows, with a smaller DPI than my
windows, the fonts are bigger.
Anyway, back to lazarus, fonts defined in points should look to have the
same size on different dpi.
Years ago I wrote that I woulf have a look to get it right for Lazarus,
but that time didn't come :(
