Provided that it can be overridden by a setting in fonts.conf (or
~/.fonts.conf et al) then a fixed 96dpi setting may be OK.

For most stuff, I find that specifying my panel's actual 133dpi is
best, but this does result in some apps spamming me with obscenely
huge fonts.  (An 8mm cap height is a bit of a pain on a panel with
191µm pixels.)
