[pygtk] X11, font point sizes and screen resolution

[spike grobstein]

I've been designing a program which uses GtkButtons with an icon and 2 lines of oversized text (it's for running on a TV or similar) and have been testing it at 1024x768 screen resolution. I got a new monitor for that machine and have changed the resolution to 1280x1024 and now the font sizes are much larger relative to the icons.

Now everything looks off.

after comparing a screenshot from the 1024x768 with one from the 1280x1024, I noticed that the fonts are the same size relative to the total screen realestate.

is there any way around this?
