The DPI setting is only used right now on bitmap fonts.
Some bitmap fonts (such as WarpSans) have two version - one for 640x480 and one for
800x600
and higher.
What should happen is that 96 DPI should cause one version to display and 120 should
cause
the other to display (I don't remember which is which off hand)
Try switching between 96 and 120 in the preferences and then closing and reopening the
pref
window in Classic theme. It should show the WarpSans difference immediately. Then if
you
close and reopen the browser, the font on the menu should be the same as the one that
looked
OK in preferences.
