What can I say? I didn't write the function.

Well, I took the EzCreateFont function from Charles Petzold.
If you are trying to show something in the exact size, it's not. But the
only thing I want is to be able to create a font in a given font size
relative to all the other applications. If every Windows program generates a
10 point character as 3 feet high, that's fine - as long as mine do as well.
Keep in mind that the metrics are relative to the device, as well - a 20
pixel high font may be visible on the screen, but not on the printer.
X Windows has this same sort of problem. It has no idea what the physical
size of the screen is, so it can have some very unreadable displays.
