Font size problems in dialogs on Linux

Hello,

unfortunately I designed my forms on a Linux machine (Ubuntu) where the Screen.PixelsPerInch value is 64. To get good looking fonts, I had to use sizes between 8 and 11. The default dialog font seems to be size 11 on this system.

But on other Linux installations, where PixelsPerInch is 96, these fonts look much too small! I found that the default dialog font size is 13 on these systems.

Apparently the font sizes are not translated correctly. The dialog size itself looks the same. Only the fonts are smaller.

Any tips?

By the way the Linux version of our file sync tool is free, see http://www.superflexible.com/linux.htm

Thanks.

Cheers,
Tobias
