As I said in my original note, Screen.PixelsPerInch returns the nominal DPI not the override. I don't see TMonitor.PixelsPerInch documented.
So I've got a test system in front of me where the "Force fonts DPI" is set to 108 but Screen.PixelsPerInch still returns 96 as does GetDeviceCaps(dc, LOGPIXELSX).
The only thing I've found so far that does appear to vary predictably is the ascent and descent returned by GetTextMetrics, but I think that describes the fount that has been selected since it doesn't have a linear relationship to the DPI.
