[PD] gui object font size

[Christopher Charles]

hi list!

just recently i stumbled over a weirdness in the gui objects pd borrowed
from iemlib: at a screen resolution of 1280x1024, small font sizes are
displayed bigger in my patches than at 1024x768. the oddness is that
this happens only to smaller font sizes, bigger ones are displayed
correctly in both resolutions. i attached a test patch showing font size
10 and 22.
is this a bug or a feature, and is it on the pd or the tcl/tk side? i
know it's ergonomically correct to have a minimum absolute fontsize
(about 2.6 mm at 50cm viewing distance), but it just ruins the
portability of fine-tuned gui patches.

thanks in advance

charlie
