For me, the chrome and document fonts do respond to the DPI received
through DDC.

Firefox 2.0.0.4 / Gutsy;

The default font size in my firefox is set to 15pt. If a document
doesn't specify font size, the fonts display as 11pt.

If I then change the document to specify fonts at 11pt, the apparent
font size does not change. The font displays correctly at 11pt as
verified using openoffice and a piece of paper to set a scale.

If I change the firefox preferences to 11pt then reload the document, no
change as 11pt is specified in the document.

If I then remove the point size specification from the document, fonts
display at around 8pt.

If I then revert the firefox preferences to 15 point, the document
displays again at 11 point as desired.

It is clear font sizes are consistently under-scaled from the settings
in the firefox preferences menu.

Where a document specifies a font size, the font is displayed correctly
in the document. Where a document does not specify a font size, and
falls back to the user preferences, fonts are consistently displayed at
only 73% of the size specified in the user preferences.

I have also checked this with Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4 running on Windows
XP Home. I observe exactly the same behaviour.
