The doc of pango_font_description_set_size () says

size : the size for the font description in pango units. (PANGO_SCALE 
pango units equals one point)

Is this not points as in 1/72 inch? Every monitor is not 72dpi, or does 
pango always use 72 dpi?

But it seems to work (my monitor is 90dpi), I just didn't think it was
pixels when I read it.
