Re: [ft] font size error

[Dave Calkins]

DPI is a feature of the monitor (how many pixels per inch). My guess is 
that because most computer monitors (at the time winxp and win2000 were 
made) were 96 dpi, by default windows is usually set to 96 dpi.

Thanks!  I checked and, sure enough, on my system I am getting 96 dpi 
for the screen device LOGPIXELSX/Y.

I'm still confused, though, as to why some fonts work fine and others 
don't.  Granted, I'm using FreeTypeGL which is in turn using FreeType, 
however, it seems to initialize that 72 by default and I'm not 
specifying the dpi for any fonts I use.  So I guess one option would be 
to query for the dpi and specify that when creating the fonts.  It just 
seems like there's something font specific not system specific since it 
doesn't fail for other fonts using the same inputs.
