   Oh, please.  I can quite easily get a monitor that will display 36-120 dpi for
   my machine.  72 dpi is an important number for the Mac, but it isn't the
   only number.


Are you sure about this?  I remember reading in a MacWorld a couple of
years ago where they mentioned that the Mac only supports 72dpi
monitors.  Before True Type and ATM you only had bitmap fonts and they
must be done for every display resolution.  Methinks 72dpi is
hardwired into the Mac.
