Whatever solution is chosen in the end: it is important that the same
algorithm is used for converting point size of fonts into pixel size
and vice versa.
preview-latex needs to guess how many pixels a given font will occupy
on the screen in order to create graphics matching in size. And the
font sizes are returned in points, namely physical dimensions.
