That will take some (re)reading, but is much appreciated. The fact that the
Canvas is not involved is deeply discouraging: one should not have to edit a

Please note, the "output device" in your definition, and a "Canvas" as
defined in Squeak/Pharo, are two different things.
A canvas does not know the physical dimensions of the display device its
raster will be displayed on.
Thus using it when rendering will not make any difference, but the
TextStyles>>pixelsPerInch setting does what you'd like (for FreeType fonts).
Repeated for clarity:
In essence, if those features are important to you:
- Use FreeTypeFonts.
- Set TextStyle pixelsPerInch: to a computed value at startup.
The computed value here meaning: "Whatever you somehow manage to find
out is the correct physical proportion".
