Anyway my main concern about the font resolution is that many programs break, because they expect the fonts being 75dpi. So either rvert to 75dpi per default, or one would need to fix trillions of lines of code, make all those programs check font resolution. Sure, the latter approach would be the correct long term solution, but right now, the user is served much better with my first proposal, IMHO.
