Default font size too large if using native DPI

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I realise this is largely a matter of opinion, however I think enough
people might agree with me that I am going to call it a bug. If the
DPI is set correctly in GNOME, then the default font size of 10 is
much too big to be usable. I currently have mine set to 7.5, though
perhaps I like it smaller than most, and 8 would be a good default.
This issue is not apparent for many users, because they are running on
higher DPI screens, but GNOME forces the DPI down to 96 instead of the
users actual DPI (see bug #157398), so they see the fonts smaller than
they actually should be. Once GNOME defaults to using the actual DPI
value, this problem will become much more serious.
To see if you agree with me, find your DPI by running "xdpyinfo | grep
resolution", then set your GNOME DPI to an average of the two values
in System>Prefs>Appearance>Fonts>Details. Make sure all the GNOME
fonts are set to 10pt, and then decide if you think this is usable or
if it's too big.
