Isn't that because IE hardcodes a 96dpi setting whereas Qt properly honours 
the X server's DPI setting? After all points are a size that can be mapped 
one-to-one to inches. There are 72 points in an inch, so a 12 point font 
should be 1/6th inch tall, assuming the size of the display is known to the 
OS (so it can calculate the DPI), or the DPI is properly specified.

I'm not sure we should butcher these typographical rules just to become IE 
compliant.
