In theory, that is correct. In practice it (as usual) depends. Some
software authors think that is the best way to specify the font sizes
they like, and fontconfig plus a correct DPI setting (see above) help
to establish the display of exactly this real font size on every
display. However, it always depends on how close the eye is to the
screen and on the personal liking. So for many people fiddling with
Xft.dpi setting does make sense to move the variaty of font sizes into a
range that they like best.
