How about calculating the font size yourself in the same way you calculate image size, and specifying that in pixels to be consistent with the images you are generating? That seems to me to be the only way to get consistency, since the screen geometry is not used by the OS in to calculate font sizes (even on X AFAICT).But the display geometries are our only pointer to getting the point/pixel relation coherent for fonts, so when in doubt, we should rather err in the same manner Windows selects its fonts rather than get it correct in opposition to all other applications and in particular the font selection.
