    I guess that might be system dependant...
    some OS , if they are not able to render in a given size, they adjust themselves...
    however this should not be a major issue,,, is it ?

    the problem is, that windows and mac uses different dpi for their display. So just set your font up with a pixel size and all should be fine, or draw an image and scale it to the available space.
