What does PixelsPerInch have to do with sizes of fonts ?
Maybe not from Forms, but I use PixelsPerInch for calculate size of
printing elements,
I don't remember exactly,
Measuring your text using PixelsPerInch is very unreliable, almost
meaningless.
Why You want to remove it. It's not disturb.
Because it does not have much meaning, and it changes often from one user
to the next.

I use PixelsPerInch constantly in a TCanvas descentant that I have that
can draw vector graphics to screen and printer. Especially for the
printer it is important to be able to draw with precision on all
printers. Since I use this canvas for monitoring ECG waves on the screen
and for printing the results, a precise presentation is very important.
Of course text is also scaled by this, since the canvas sets its text
size by millimeters or inches. For this I also need to know the
PixelsPerInch of the current canvas.
I am sure that anyone who writes a CAD program would need the same, and
there are probably other usefull uses as well. In the real world, it is
important to have good measurement units. Please don't remove one of the
very few provided.
