Ugh, specifying screen fonts is such a crock. For an example, see

I think the only real solution is good scalable fonts combined with
the computer actually knowing your screen resolution and size. Windows
comes close to providing this, X is still behind. XFree86 is getting
better, TrueType support is becoming standard.
